DeSantis Pushes New Congressional Map In Florida

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Ron DeSantis is back in the national spotlight as he pushes for a new congressional map in Florida. His proposal aims to give Republicans four more seats, equivalent to the expected Democratic gains in Virginia. With his second term ending, this is a key moment for DeSantis to show he could still be a future national leader for his party. However, some Republicans worry the plan might backfire and help Democrats. DeSantis also wants to increase artificial intelligence regulations and loosen vaccine requirements, which have faced resistance. As he navigates this week’s special session, his relationship with President Donald Trump and other Republican leaders will be on the line.
