The Missouri Supreme Court has blocked a Republican-drawn congressional map from being used in the upcoming November midterm elections, preserving the district of Democratic U.S. Representative Emanuel Cleaver. The ruling represents a setback for Republicans, who had hoped the new boundaries would help them gain an additional House seat and maintain their slim majority. Missouri's attorney general plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, claiming the decision has plunged the state into a constitutional crisis, while proponents of the ruling assert it upholds the principle of democracy.

The Missouri Supreme Court unanimously blocked a congressional map endorsed by President Donald Trump, restoring the state's previous districts ahead of the midterm elections. Nearly 300,000 Missouri residents had signed a petition to challenge the new map, and the court ruled that this petition was legally sufficient, stating that the change should be decided by voters. Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway stated she would appeal the decision to the US Supreme Court, calling it a "full-fledged constitutional crisis" as the ruling prevents the new map from being used in the upcoming elections.

The Missouri Supreme Court unanimously blocked new congressional maps supported by Donald Trump from being used in the November elections, requiring a statewide vote to determine their future. The court emphasized that unless the voters approve the newly drawn districts, the original map from the 2020 census remains in effect for the 2026 general election. This ruling marked a significant setback for Republicans, limiting their potential gains in congressional seats, as they had aimed to add as many as 10 additional seats nationally and faced over 300,000 petition signatures for a referendum against the redistricting.
