Florida congressional map survives first court test - Axios

A federal appeals court allowed Florida's GOP-drawn congressional map to survive its first major legal challenge, clearing a near-term obstacle to the map's use in upcoming elections. The map was proposed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and passed by the state legislature during a special session as part of a broader mid-decade redistricting effort tied to former President Trump's strategy. While the decision increases the map's immediate impact on House races, further litigation and political challenges are expected.
