Missouri Republicans passed a redistricting plan that could give them an extra U.S. House seat, despite opposition and a planned referendum. The plan, supported by President Trump, alters Kansas City's district, potentially harming Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's chances. Opponents argue the map disenfranchises minority voters, echoing similar partisan redistricting battles in Texas and California. Cleaver plans to challenge the map legally.
