Republicans Pressure DeSantis Over Florida Redistricting Maps

Republicans are pressuring Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to initiate a congressional redistricting process for the state. This effort is fueled by Democratic gains in Virginia, which has heightened the perceived need for map adjustments before the midterms. While a special session is scheduled, no new maps have been officially released, and internal coordination remains unclear. Some local GOP members express caution regarding the timing, while national figures argue that aggressive redistricting is necessary for the party's electoral survival.
