DeSantis redistricting plan gives Florida GOP 4 more seats in Congress [View all]
https://archive.ph/RtbqLTALLAHASSEE — Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday released his new plan for Florida’s congressional map, a redistricting proposal that could give the Republican Party four more seats in Congress.
His plan, released exclusively to Fox News, would leave Tampa Bay without any Democratic seats.
Only four seats out of 28 — District 10, in Central Florida, and Districts 23, 20 and 24 in South Florida — would lean in favor of Democrats, according to the draft proposal confirmed by the governor’s office.
That would mean Tampa Bay would not have a Democratic-leaning district.
The governor’s proposal comes in the middle of a national redistricting battle initiated by President Donald Trump, who last summer started pushing red states to redraw their maps and keep GOP control of Congress.
