Florida Republicans on Wednesday approved a new congressional map aimed at flipping four Democratic-held U.S. House seats, delivering a major boost to their party’s chances of preserving a narrow majority in November’s midterm elections.
The map, drawn by Governor Ron DeSantis’ office, gives Republicans the advantage in 24 of the state’s 28 U.S. House of Representatives seats, up from their current 20-8 edge.
