Missouri Redistricting Sparks Political Debate and Public Outcry

TL;DR Summary
Missouri Republicans are preparing to redraw congressional districts, with a new map circulating from Washington, D.C., aiming to favor GOP interests and potentially increase their House seats from six to seven. A special legislative session is expected once national party agreements are reached, with the process influenced by efforts from President Trump and the RNC to reshape districts, especially the 5th District in Kansas City. The redistricting aims to maintain Republican majorities amid political and demographic considerations, but faces challenges from Democrats and intra-party disputes.
