Seats Most At Risk From Florida Redistricting Plan
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has proposed a new congressional map that could strengthen the Republican Party's majority by adding up to four GOP-leaning districts. This redistricting plan is part of a broader national effort ahead of the midterm elections, where both parties are attempting to influence electoral outcomes. The proposed changes could significantly impact the balance of power in Congress, particularly for the upcoming November 2026 midterms.

- ▪The proposal reflects population shifts since the 2020 Census and anticipates a Supreme Court ruling on district drawing.
- ▪Four Democratic-held seats are at risk due to the proposed redistricting changes.
