Florida's increasingly rare Democratic congressmen are in a tough spot after the state legislature approved new gerrymandered maps pushed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) as Republicans look to hold on to control of the House in November.

The new congressional maps deliver Republicans four more seats, giving them a 24-4 advantage over Democrats heading into the 2026 midterm elections. Currently, there are 20 Republicans and seven Democrats in the House, with one seat vacant after former Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned over allegations of campaign finance misconduct.

DeSantis has argued that the mid-decade redistricting was necessary to account for population growth in the state since the 2020 census and make sure that Florida's districts are "race-neutral."

Here are the Democratic incumbents on the chopping block if the new maps are upheld:

Darren Soto

Kathy Castor

Jared Moskowitz

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Darn, I'd love to see Wasserman Schultz lose!

Talk about what a banner day for Freedom that would be!

You totally missed the point

It's about what is happening, not about a side here.

When we reap the harvest, I predict it will be folks like you that will be squealing and whining the most.

Not likely--democrats started this crap in states like MA and CA and suddenly you're concerned that YOU have reaped what you sowed. I already live in a gerrymandered blue state shithole. It can't do anything but get better.

Nope, they have only just begun.
