- Justice Brett Kavanaugh on Tuesday denied a request to lift the block on Missouri's new congressional map, which was poised to give Republicans a pickup opportunity in November
- Missouri must now revert to its existing 6-2 GOP-favored House map for the November elections, per the court's decision
Why it matters: Republicans lose a potential House pickup opportunity in Missouri for the November midterms, and the existing 6-2 GOP-favored map remains in place, preserving a Democratic seat. The court's redistricting block stands heading into the cycle, narrowing the GOP's options for expanding their House majority through this map.
