Republicans pressure DeSantis to redistrict Florida following Virginia election results
Following a Virginia election in which Democrats performed well, Republican leaders are pressing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to redraw congressional districts in Florida to help offset potential GOP seat losses. DeSantis responded to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who had warned Florida over redistricting, by challenging him to campaign in the state. Florida's redistricting decision is seen as potentially decisive for Republicans' House majority.
