Georgia Governor Kemp calls special legislative session to redraw congressional maps for 2028 elections
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp issued a proclamation on Wednesday calling for a special legislative session on June 17, 2026, to redraw the state's congressional and legislative districts ahead of the 2028 elections, following a U.S. Supreme Court decision ending race-based gerrymandering. The move allows Republicans to lock in favorable maps regardless of the outcome of the 2026 midterm elections. South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster is separately planning a special session to redraw South Carolina's congressional map, targeting Democrat Jim Clyburn's 6th District seat.

The split, in one line
All outlets report Kemp's Georgia redistricting move, but diverge on framing: some emphasize GOP gains and map advantages, others stress strategic timing ahead of uncertain 2026 results, and one outlet shifts focus to South Carolina's separate redistricting effort and Trump's pressure.
