The Supreme Court has blocked Missouri’s congressional maps favored by Republicans, dealing a setback to the party’s efforts to preserve its House majority ahead of the midterm elections. The decision marks the latest legal challenge to state-level redistricting plans, which have drawn intense scrutiny over their potential impact on electoral fairness. With the ruling, the state’s redistricting process remains unresolved, leaving uncertainty over how the maps will ultimately be drawn. The case highlights the broader political and legal battles shaping district boundaries across the country.


The U.S. Supreme Court again rejected Missouri congressional maps backed by President Donald Trump on Thursday, a loss for Republicans trying to maintain control of the House in the pivotal midterm elections.
