Summary
The Supreme Court on Friday ordered Missouri to use its 2022 congressional map for the 2026 midterm elections, blocking a 2025 map backed by President Trump for the third time. The unsigned order drew no noted dissents. The 2022 map gives Republicans an edge of six seats to two; the 2025 map would have made it seven to one. Missouri's August primary used the 2025 map, and absentee voting is underway.
