Trump Gets Another Election Win

Missouri Republicans scored a major victory in the fight to protect conservative values. The Missouri state House has passed a powerful new congressional redistricting map that would give the GOP an additional U.S. House seat, putting Democrats on defense ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

The bill, which passed 90–65, now heads to the state Senate, where it is widely expected to be approved before being signed into law by Governor Mike Kehoe (R). If finalized, the map would shift Missouri’s congressional balance of power from six Republicans and two Democrats to seven Republicans and just one Democrat — a major blow to liberal influence in Washington.

Bottom Line: This move strengthens Missouri’s voice in Congress and gives conservatives a stronger platform to support President Trump’s America First agenda.

Democrats Cry ‘Power Grab’ — But Can’t Stop It

As expected, Democrats fiercely opposed the plan, calling it a “power grab” and accusing Republicans of “doing Trump’s bidding.”
But here’s the reality: Democrats lack the votes to stop the bill. With Republicans holding strong majorities in both chambers of the Missouri Legislature, Democrats are left with little more than angry soundbites and political theater.

A small group of Republicans — including House Speaker Jonathan Patterson (R) — did break ranks and vote against the proposal. However, their defections weren’t enough to stop the map’s passage. The GOP majority held firm, signaling the party’s commitment to expanding conservative representation.

Kansas City Democrats in Trouble: Cleaver’s Seat at Risk

The biggest shake-up comes in Kansas City, where Democrat Rep. Emanuel Cleaver has held his seat for over 20 years.
The new map splits Kansas City into multiple districts, adding rural, conservative communities to the mix. This move could flip Cleaver’s seat to a Republican, breaking Democrats’ hold on the region and sending a strong conservative voice to Washington.

Meanwhile, Rep. Wesley Bell’s St. Louis-area district would remain largely unchanged, leaving Democrats with just one safe district in the entire state.

Part of a Larger National Battle for Control

Missouri isn’t acting alone. Across the country, both parties are fighting tooth and nail over congressional maps as they gear up for the high-stakes 2026 midterm elections.

• Texas has already approved a map that could add up to five Republican seats next year.
• California Democrats, in a bold counter-move, are pushing a ballot measure that would allow them to redraw their state’s districts to grab five more Democrat-held seats.
• Other states, including Florida and Maryland, are quietly exploring their own redistricting efforts.

This nationwide redistricting battle will play a critical role in determining which party controls Congress — and whether President Trump’s America First policies can move forward without obstruction.

Why This Matters for Conservatives

This redistricting victory is more than just politics — it’s about protecting Missouri’s values, ensuring fair representation, and stopping the radical left from undermining our freedoms.

With the 2026 midterms approaching, Democrats are desperate to regain control. This new map gives Republicans a clear edge, ensuring that conservative voters have a stronger voice in Washington.

Takeaway: Missouri Republicans are leading the way in securing common-sense leadership and defending against the progressive policies that threaten our communities, our families, and our future.

Key Highlights

• GOP Majority Strengthened: Map shifts balance to 7-1 Republican advantage.
• Cleaver’s Seat in Jeopardy: Kansas City district reshaped to favor conservatives.
• Nationwide Impact: Part of a larger battle for control of Congress.
• Timing Critical: Map expected to be finalized before 2026 midterms.

Final Thoughts

Missouri’s bold redistricting plan marks a historic moment for conservatives. By securing an additional congressional seat, Republicans are positioned to protect American values, push back against far-left policies, and give President Trump’s agenda the strong support it deserves.

As the fight for control of Congress heats up, Missouri has made its stance clear: faith, freedom, and family come first.
