House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says he is developing a plan to redraw New York’s congressional map as Republicans pursue new redistricting proposals in other states. Jeffries’ comments come after Florida moves toward new congressional districts and amid a U.S. Supreme Court Voting Rights Act decision that could affect how some states’ congressional districts are drawn. The Hill reports that Jeffries frames the effort as responsive to potential changes in districting calculations ahead of the November midterms. Fox News similarly describes Jeffries as launching a redistricting push in New York following clashes involving redistricting decisions and broader disputes among parties over how congressional maps should be drawn.

The sources do not describe specific proposed district boundaries or timelines for New York’s map, focusing instead on Jeffries’ announcement and the national legal and political context driving renewed attention to redistricting.
