With Trump-backed Missouri congressional redistricting plan in tatters, Kehoe has no regrets
What happened
Governor Mike Kehoe pushed for a new congressional map, which was opposed by Democrats and others, and is now up for a referendum in November. The map, which would have had seven Republican-leaning districts, was blocked from being used in the election by the U.S. Supreme Court. The older 2022 map, which has a safe seat for Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, will be used instead. A referendum to decide the fate of the new map, Proposition A, is on the ballot in November.
Why it matters
The outcome of the referendum will determine which congressional map is used in Missouri for the next several years. The new map would have potentially shifted the balance of power in the House of Representatives. The outcome of the referendum is uncertain, with polls showing a dead heat.
