Redistricting Battle Heats Up
from Durham News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Trump’s push to redraw South Carolina’s congressional districts to boost GOP seats hit a wall as the Senate blocked it—calling it too late with early voting underway.

In Alabama, a federal court struck down a GOP map for racial discrimination, forcing two Black-majority districts—a major win for equality advocates. While Republicans still lead in redistricting wins nationwide, including Florida and Tennessee, Democrats are rallying behind the Alabama ruling as a victory for fair representation. The Congressional Black Caucus is now urging corporations to join the fight against maps designed to erase Black legislative power. The battle for equitable representation is far from over.
