.thereidout Blog: The state GOP-controlled Legislature is preparing to give the governor the power to influence congressional maps, most likely harming Black voters.
On Monday, leaders of the state's GOP-led Legislature announced they had caved to. The lawmakers will effectively allow DeSantis to draw congressional maps that create a stronger advantage for him and other Republicans.
The announcement followed a monthslong debate between Republican leadership, which had already drawn a map that benefited the GOP, and DeSantis, who proposed an even more intense gerrymander that dissolved two Black districts and redrew them as Republican strongholds. “We are awaiting a communication from the Governor’s Office with a map that he will support," House Speaker Chris Sprowls and Senate President Wilton Simpson."Our intention is to provide the Governor’s Office opportunities to present that information before House and Senate redistricting committees."
In short: The two Republicans are vowing to bend the knee to their leader and allow him to shape Florida’s political landscape to his heart’s desire. And for DeSantis, a potential 2024 presidential candidate, that means virtually no political autonomy for Black Floridians.
