Trump Considering DeSantis for Cabinet Post: Report

Rep. Angie Nixon, a Democratic contender for the U.S. Senate from Jacksonville, interrupted the voting by yelling into a pink megaphone that the map “was out of order.”

DeSantis has previously stated that if the Supreme Court ruled as he anticipated, which is what happened, the Legislature would be “forced” to redesign the state’s map.

“Called this one months ago,” the governor posted on social media. “The

decision implicates a district in FL — the legal infirmities of which have been corrected in the newly-drawn (and soon to be enacted) map.”

Florida becomes the latest state to redistrict its congressional delegation in the middle of the decade, following red states such as Texas, North Carolina, and Missouri.

The Supreme Court’s decision stemmed from lower courts ordering Louisiana to create a second majority-black congressional district in 2024 to comply with Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which bars states from diluting minority voting strength.
