Pennsylvania lawmakers say the state will not join the push to redraw its congressional districts before next year’s midterms.
Republican State Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman told Spotlight PA mid-decade redistricting is a “non-issue” in the commonwealth since the state legislature is divided. New maps are usually drawn every decade following the latest U.S. Census, but several states are looking to redraw their districts now following President Trump’s request to protect the Republican majority in the House.
Governor Josh Shapiro said last month that early redistricting is “not on the table” in Pennsylvania, and called the president’s request “shameful.”
