Trump condemns Missouri Supreme Court's block of Republican redistricting map
Missouri's highest court unanimously rejected new congressional lines drawn to benefit Republicans, blocking their use in the November election.
What happened
The Missouri Supreme Court unanimously ruled Thursday evening that newly drawn congressional maps, which were used in the state's primary elections, did not go into effect and will not be used in the November general election. President Trump condemned the decision on Thursday, characterizing the court's ruling as "ridiculously" favoring the blocking of the redistricting plan that had been designed to benefit Republicans.
Context
The ruling prevents the Republican-drawn map from being implemented in the general election cycle, meaning the state will not use the lines that were applied during the primary phase.
