Alabama GOP

The Supreme Court allowed Alabama to use a 2023 congressional map with one majority-Black district, reversing a lower court's block. The ruling enables Republicans to retain the map for midterms, despite voting-rights groups' claims of diluting Black voting power. Governor Kay Ivey praised the decision, stating it reflects Alabama's authority over district design.

The Supreme Court allowed Alabama to use a 2023 congressional map with one majority-Black district, granting an emergency appeal by state Republicans. The decision reversed a lower court’s block on the map, which critics argue dilutes Black voting power, while Alabama officials defended it as respecting traditional districting principles. Three liberal justices dissented, citing potential discrimination against Black voters.

Rep. Barry Moore is heading to a runoff in the Alabama GOP Senate primary, backed by Trump. The primary is a significant step in the election process. Moore's advancement indicates a strong showing of support.
