The state is joining Texas and California as Republicans and Democrats battle for extra seats in next year’s midterm polls
American Republican Governor Mike Kehoe said on Friday that he is calling Missouri lawmakers into a special session to redraw the state’s US House districts as part of a growing national battle between Republicans and Democrats seeking an edge in next year’s congressional elections.
Kehoe made the announcement just hours after Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed into law a new congressional voting map designed to help Republicans gain five more seats in the 2026 midterm elections.
It marked a win for US President Donald Trump, who has been urging Republican-led states to reshape district lines to give the party a better shot at retaining control of the House.
