Several Republican-led Southern states have rushed to eliminate Democratic-held \u200bdistricts with significant Black populations that no longer enjoy \u200brobust legal \u2060protections.<\/div>\n<div>Democrats, however, remain favored to win control of the U.S. House in November\u2019s midterm elections, with President Donald Trump\u2019s negative approval ratings dragging down his party.<\/div>\n<div>New York \u2060is \u200bexpected to be among several states, both Democratic- \u200band Republican-controlled, that attempt to draw new maps ahead of the 2028 elections, ensuring the redistricting \u200bfight extends into another electoral cycle.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=992\">Trump says he will nominate Todd Blanche as US Attorney General<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=990\">Former Trump adviser Bolton to pay $2.25 million to settle classified document charges, sources say<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=988\">First IAEA report on Iran\u2019s nuclear programme since February shows little change despite war<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Democrats have taken the first step toward redrawing the state&#8217;s congressional map for the 2028 election cycle, \u200ba move that could eventually yield a handful of U.S. House \u200cof Representatives seats for the party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[14,80,17],"class_list":["post-994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-government","tag-judiciary","tag-public-policy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
