Tallahassee: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday signed into law a new congressional district map after lawmakers returned to Tallahassee for a special session called by a proclamation he issued earlier this year. DeSantis offered a proposed map last week, one day before the session began. Lawmakers last redrew district lines in 2022 after the 2020 Census, when reapportionment increased Florida's U.S. House delegation to 28 seats. The map makes no changes to North Florida districts but alters lines in Central and South Florida. The new map is expected to increase Republican-held U.S. House seats from 20 to 24 and reduce Democratic seats from eight to four. Democrats could lose one seat in the Orlando area, one in the Tampa area, and two in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach area.
