Rove told Fox & Friends that Florida’s proposed redistricting may force Republicans to shift voters, risking the loss of one or two GOP-held congressional seats.
He explained that diluting strong Republican districts to create new ones could make previously safe seats competitive, increasing the chance of Democratic gains.
Florida’s move follows similar GOP-driven redistricting in Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina, while Democrats in California and Virginia have responded with their own plans to counterbalance Republican efforts.
