Florida‘s increasingly rare Democratic congressmen are in a tough spot after the state legislature approved new gerrymandered maps pushed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) as Republicans look to hold on to control of the House in November. 

The new congressional maps deliver Republicans four more seats, giving them a 24-4 advantage over Democrats heading into the 2026 midterm elections. Currently, there are 20 Republicans and seven Democrats in the House, with one seat vacant after former Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned over allegations of campaign finance misconduct.
