Florida is advancing its efforts to establish a new congressional redistricting committee, following the lead of Texas Republicans as the state prepares for possible changes ahead of the 2026 elections. Governor Ron DeSantis has expressed support for mid-decade redistricting, citing shifts in population, while also stirring discussions on a potential new census to address undercounts affecting representation. Florida House Speaker Daniel Perez has called for a select group to examine redistricting options, as Republicans seek to maximize their seats in the U.S. House. Meanwhile, the Florida Democratic Party has condemned these moves as reckless gerrymandering efforts. As the debate intensifies, concerns grow over the implications of redistricting in Florida and its potential domino effect nationally.
