Florida redistricting plan faces opposition from DeSantis

Florida state senators this week offered a rare hint of bipartisan agreement on a plan to redraw a swing state’s congressional district boundaries in a way that placates both majority Republicans and minority Democrats — and, likely, a state Supreme Court that is keeping careful watch of both.
