House Republicans advanced a map for new congressional lines Friday that includes a disputed North Florida district closer to what the Senate proposed than what Gov. Ron DeSantis has sought. Still, the Republican-controlled House Congressional Redistricting Subcommittee voted along party lines to approve a plan that could split apart two districts in Central Florida.
The move is another setback to DeSantis’ unprecedented insertion into the redistricting process, after the state Senate ignored his surprise map and approved their own.
