Pelosi Blindsided By DeSantis — Could Now Be The End For Her

Democrats in Florida are a minority and it could get even worse for them later this year once the GOP-controlled state legislature begins its redistricting process.

This could make it even more difficult for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to keep her iron grip on the U.S. House and puts her speakership in jeopardy given Republicans are the clear favorites to take back the lower chamber in November’s midterms.

Democrats fear that Republicans will use the state’s massive population growth, especially along the key I‑4 corridor, which grew the most over the past decade, as a means of eliminating some of their congressional seats the way Democrats are planning to blot out GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s seat in blue Illinois.

“To understand how Florida’s redistricting process will dramatically reshape the state’s political lines and congressional map, look at Democratic Rep. Darren Soto’s district along the fabled I‑4 corridor,” the outlet reported.
