DeSantis' redistricting fight gets major boost from his potential GOP successor: 'Doing the right thing'

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis introduced a congressional redistricting map that could secure four additional Republican seats, supported by Rep. Byron Donalds. Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, criticize the move as partisan gerrymandering, while Republicans argue similar strategies have been used historically. Redistricting battles are ongoing in multiple states ahead of the 2026 and 2030 elections.
