"Louisiana's New Congressional Map: Impact on Black Districts and GOP House Majority"

The Louisiana Senate has passed a proposed congressional map that would create an additional majority-Black district, as ordered by a federal court for violating the Voting Rights Act. The map, supported by Gov. Jeff Landry, would significantly increase the Black makeup of a district currently held by a Republican, potentially netting Democrats an additional seat in Congress. The proposal faces opposition from some Republicans, including the Speaker of the House, and is now headed to the Louisiana House for further consideration before the Jan. 30 deadline.
