"Florida got shortchanged in the 2020 Census, and we've been fighting for fair representation ever since. Our population has since grown dramatically, and we have moved from a Democrat majority to a 1.5 million Republican advantage."
"Drawing maps based on race, which is reflected in our current congressional districts, is unconstitutional and should be prohibited."
"The DeSantis map still needs to be approved by the state legislature. Florida has a GOP majority in both the state House and Senate; if it gets the green light from the legislature, the governor will be able to sign it into law."
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis revealed a new congressional map that would increase Republican representation by adding four seats. The map reflects a significant Republican advantage in the state, with a population shift from a Democrat majority to a 1.5 million Republican lead. DeSantis criticized the current districts for being drawn based on race, calling it unconstitutional. The new map requires approval from the GOP-controlled state legislature before it can be enacted for the upcoming midterms. Florida currently has 20 Republican representatives and seven Democrats.
