Supreme Court Weighs Fate of Missouri's Trump-Backed Redistricting Map in Emergency Appeal

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway has filed a petition asking the U.S. Supreme Court to revive a redistricting map that was rejected by state courts, which was backed by President Donald Trump and other Republican officials. The new congressional map would alter the boundaries of several Missouri districts to benefit Republicans. If approved, it could potentially flip the balance of power in Congress. Hanaway is seeking an emergency stay to allow the revised map to take effect.
