UPDATE: Proposed Congressional Map In Red State Advances To Governor’s Desk
The Missouri state Senate has approved a new congressional map that will likely give the GOP an additional House seat in the 2026 midterm elections.
In a 21-11 vote, the state’s upper legislative chamber voted to send the map to the governor’s desk.

Fox News has more:
After the House passed the redistricting bill, the governor reiterated that the new maps would ensure “that the values of Missourians are represented clearly and effectively.”
The new map proposed by Kehoe targets longtime Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s Kansas City-area district by shifting it eastward to include rural right-leaning voters. The new map would likely flip Cleaver’s seat and give Republicans a 7-1 advantage in the state’s House delegation.
Cleaver has vowed to take legal action if the new map is signed into law by the governor.
“I want to warn all of us that if you fight fire with fire long enough, all you’re going to have left is ashes,” Cleaver said Thursday as he testified in front of a Missouri Senate committee.
Missouri currently has six Republicans and two Democrats.
“Congratulations to Missouri’s incredible Republican State Legislators, who just overwhelmingly voted to pass their new, much fairer, and improved, Congressional Map. It was my Great Honor to win Missouri six times, including Primaries, in 2016, 2020, and 2024 (Getting the Highest Number of Votes for any Office in the History of the State!), and this new Map will give the wonderful people of Missouri the opportunity to elect an additional MAGA Republican in the 2026 Midterm Elections,” President Trump previously said.
“The Missouri Senate must pass this Map now, AS IS, to deliver a gigantic Victory for Republicans in the ‘Show Me State,’ and across the Country. I will be watching closely. THANK YOU MISSOURI — MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he continued.
The Hill provided further info:
Kehoe is expected to quickly sign them into law, giving Republicans another key win following a similar redistricting effort in Texas as the GOP looks to cushion potential losses in 2026.
Between the new maps in Texas and Missouri, Republicans could net up to six new seats next year, though some of those wins could be negated depending on whether California is able to pass a Democratic-friendly congressional map this November.
The Missouri Republican called a special session in late August to do an unusual mid-decade redistricting in the state, following heavy pressure from the White House to have the Show Me State redraw its House lines before the midterms.
Kehoe also included in the special session agenda new legislation that would make it harder for citizen-led ballot initiatives to be passed in Missouri after the voters recently approved initiatives protecting abortion access and requiring paid sick leave. GOP legislators later repealed the paid sick leave law and are using the referendum process to try and repeal the abortion access constitutional amendment next year.
