Trump-led push to redraw Congress maps faces setbacks in Southern states
A push by Donald Trump to redraw congressional district maps has encountered significant obstacles in Southern states. A federal panel blocked Alabama Republicans from implementing a map that would reduce Black representation, while South Carolina lawmakers rejected a map affecting a long-serving Black Democrat. These developments highlight the contentious nature of gerrymandering and its implications for upcoming elections.
- ▪A three-judge federal panel blocked Alabama Republicans from moving forward with a new congressional map.
- ▪The proposed map would have eliminated one of Alabama's two districts with major Black populations.
