Governor DeSantis Responds to Jeffries' Challenge on Florida Redistricting Efforts
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has responded to Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' challenge regarding redistricting efforts in Florida. Jeffries had previously invited Republicans to 'F around and find out' in response to what he termed as a 'DeSantis dummy-mander,' suggesting that the electoral tide in Florida is turning. DeSantis, in a retort, invited Jeffries to campaign in Florida, offering to host him at the governor's mansion. This exchange highlights the ongoing partisan battle over congressional district maps, with both parties aiming to leverage gerrymandering to secure control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterms. DeSantis has called a special legislative session to address redistricting, citing demographic changes in Florida.
