JEFFERSON CITY, Mo (AP) — Missouri’s Republican governor is calling a special legislative session to redraw the state’s U.S. House districts.
The announcement Friday by Gov. Mike Kehoe comes as President Donald Trump has been urging Republican-led states to reshape district lines to give the party a better shot at retaining control of Congress in next year’s elections.
It came hours after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law a new U.S. House map that gives the GOP a chance at winning five additional seats.
Democratic lawmakers in California have countered with a redistricting plan giving Democrats a chance at winning five more seats there.
The California plan still needs voter approval.
