US Supreme Court blocks Republican-drawn congressional map in Missouri

  • On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked Missouri from using a redrawn congressional map favored by Republicans in November's midterm elections, dealing a setback to President Donald Trump and his party's slim House majority.
  • Enacted in 2025, the map was part of a nationwide redistricting push backed by Trump, aiming to eliminate one of two Democratic-held seats currently held by Democratic Representative Emanuel Cleaver.
  • Tuesday's order from St. Louis-based Chief U.S. District Judge Stephen Clark required the state to use the new map, conflicting with the Missouri Supreme Court's September 3 ruling that blocked it.
  • Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins faces a contempt hearing Thursday for defying the state court's ruling, with ballots set for distribution on September 19.
  • The 2022 map will now be in place for the general election, featuring six Republican-held seats and two Democratic-held seats, injecting uncertainty into the high-stakes midterm fight.
