- Missouri governor calls special legislative session to redraw congressional districts — Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe announced a special legislative session to redraw the state's congressional districts, following pressure from Donald Trump to reshape boundaries to favor Republicans. The move aims to help the GOP gain an additional House seat in the 2026 midterms. Kehoe's announcement came hours after Texas Governor Greg Abbott ratified a similar map designed to gain five Republican seats. Trump publicly celebrated the announcement and urged Missouri lawmakers to pass a "new, much fairer" map. The session will also address initiative petition reform to restrict citizen-led ballot measures.
