Six states already have new maps, with more redraws moving through legislatures and courts as both parties test mid-decade changes.

The GDC said construction will be suspended at 5 p.m. Friday unless federal payments resume, as New Jersey officials blast the move.

Democrats said they are ready to negotiate but warned that Republicans should not expect votes for DHS funding without major changes to ICE.

Democrats say the effort will focus on voters who backed the party in 2020 but skipped 2024, while Republicans call it a ‘gimmick.’

The governor made the announcement after a major facility was completed and the state dropped a lawsuit challenging a $4 billion federal grant cancellation.

The commission says USDOT breached grant and loan agreements by withholding $205 million, putting construction and hundreds of jobs at risk by Feb. 6.

Maryland’s House of Delegates approved HB 488 to redraw the state’s congressional map for 2026, setting up a state Senate fight over mid-decade redistricting.

House Democrats weigh whether to back a Senate plan to fund five agencies through September while extending DHS for two weeks amid a partial shutdown.

Taylor Rehmet’s win is seen by Democrats as proof of organizing gains, while Republican leaders cite a low-turnout.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says he is done with elections and will focus on other ways to serve.
