House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he is sending Rep. Joe Morelle to meet with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers to discuss possible mid-decade redistricting in response to a recent Supreme Court ruling on voting rights.

The Court’s 6-3 decision weakened a key Voting Rights Act provision and could affect majority-minority districts nationwide, prompting Democrats to consider countermeasures.

Jeffries argued Democrats must respond to Republican-led redistricting efforts and said party leaders will “sue, redraw, and win” to protect representation.

The push comes amid a broader national surge in redistricting battles ahead of the 2026 midterms, with several states already pursuing new maps, CNBC has reported.

New York, which currently prohibits mid-decade redistricting, would need legal changes before any new congressional lines could be drawn.
