Jeffries eyes redistricting again in New York in response to new Florida map

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is eyeing New York as Democrats’ next redistricting frontier as the caucus looks to gain ground after Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) GOP map win in Florida.

Jeffries announced on Monday that he is asking state Rep. Joe Morelle to take up the redistricting torch in the Empire State, asking him, “to travel to Albany to meet with State leaders” on Tuesday about redistricting “in response to the Callais decision and the recent action in Florida.”
