Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has said that he won’t approve a new set of congressional districting maps approved by the Florida Legislature. The announcement comes just days before the current session of the legislature is scheduled to end.

“I will veto the congressional reapportionment plan currently being debated by the House. DOA,” DeSantis wrote on Twitter. The state’s House and Senate each voted in favor of the new congressional maps on March 4, by 67–47  in the House and 24–15 in the Senate, with some Republican support.
