DeSantis Map Redraws Florida's Majority-Hispanic Congressional District

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed a new congressional map that would redraw a majority-Hispanic district in a region with a large Puerto Rican population, drawing bipartisan criticism, according to the Washington Post. DeSantis has framed the redistricting as a response to statewide population growth, though critics argue the growth in that area would ordinarily strengthen Hispanic representation rather than dilute it.
