The new state congressional map was approved in a 90 to 65 vote, with a handful of GOP lawmakers voting against it. 

The so-called “Missouri First Map” would split Kansas City into three GOP-leaning congressional districts and could help Republicans flip Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s (D-Mo.) seat in the House in the 2026 midterm elections. 

“It was my Great Honor to win Missouri six times, including Primaries, in 2016, 2020, and 2024 (Getting the Highest Number of Votes for any Office in the History of the State!), and this new Map will give the wonderful people of Missouri the opportunity to elect an additional MAGA Republican in the 2026 Midterm Elections,” the president wrote. 

The redistricting bill will now head to the GOP-controlled Missouri Senate, which is expected to approve the measure as early as Wednesday.  

“The Missouri Senate must pass this Map now, AS IS, to deliver a gigantic Victory for Republicans in the ‘Show Me State,’ and across the Country,” Trump continued. “I will be watching closely.”

“THANK YOU MISSOURI — MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” 

Republican Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe ordered state lawmakers to convene for a special session on redistricting last month – shortly after Texas state GOP lawmakers passed a contentious redistricting bill that could potentially add five Republican seats to the US House of Representatives.
