Missouri Republicans sent a new congressional district map to the desk of Governor Mike Kehoe on Friday.
The map is expected to create one more Republican-favored congressional district in the deep red state. The Senate passed the map 21-11 on Friday after the House passed the same map earlier in the week. President Donald Trump praised Missouri lawmakers for passing the map.
“Thank you very much to the Great State of Missouri for the redistricting, which will, hopefully, give us an additional Seat in Congress! A new, much fairer, and much improved, Congressional Map, has now overwhelmingly passed both Chambers of the Missouri Legislature,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Trump added that the map “will help send an additional MAGA Republican to Congress in the 2026 Midterm Elections. It is wonderful to see Republicans in the &#8216;Show Me State&#8217; standing up to Save our Country, and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.”
The map is expected to yield a 7-1 congressional seat advantage for Republicans as opposed to the current 6-2 map.
Senator Nick Schroer, a Republican and member of the state’s conservative Freedom Caucus, told The Daily Wire that Republicans previously created a special carve-out district for Kansas City area Democrat Rep. Emanuel Cleaver last time the maps were passed. The new maps will not split St. Charles County or Warren County like the current map does.
“So by way of keeping these counties back together, creating a map that is compact and contiguous, in essence, it&#8217;s making that seat more competitive,” Schroer told The Daily Wire.
While Democrats accused Trump of meddling in the state’s politics, Republican lawmakers praised him for his advocacy for new maps in the state.
“To that point, this has been absolutely refreshing to have a president that is so involved and communicates so well to state legislatures,” Rep. Holly Jones told The Daily Wire. “That has been amazing that the administration wants to work with us so closely.”
That sentiment was echoed by Rep. Justin Sparks.
“Having a presidential administration recognize that in order to get his mandate and his agenda passed that he has to work with the state legislatures to get that accomplished has been refreshing and very effective, and we&#8217;ve been very happy to help,” Sparks told The Daily Wire.
Texas passed new maps earlier this year that are expected to create five more Republican-favored seats.
