Florida‘s House passed a congressional map on Thursday after being forced into a brief informal recess as Democrats, led by the state’s House Black Caucus, stormed the floor in protest of the map.

Republicans ultimately passed the legislation 68–38 while Democrats protested, sending it to Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s desk, where he is expected to sign it into law, likely netting the GOP four congressional seats in the midterm elections.
