"Meet Me" — Drawing lines with mid-decade redistricting

from St. Louis on the Air

At the start of every decade the Census redraws America's lines of representation. But in 2025, at President Trump's urging, several states — including Missouri — moved to redraw their congressional maps mid-decade. The result is a high-drama scramble that could reshape who controls the U.S. House. We feature the latest episode of STLPR's podcast "Meet Me" — a conversation between host Luis Antonio Perez and politics correspondent Jason Rosenbaum. They break down the "what, how and why" of Missouri's new 2025 map and how the movie “Air Bud” explains part of this saga. With August primaries already underway, we trace where things stand and what's still left to play out.
