Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is advocating for a reevaluation of the 2020 Census results, arguing that Florida was undercounted and should be allocated an additional two congressional seats. DeSantis claims he was initially informed that Rhode Island would lose one seat, which would allow Florida to gain two seats. However, under the Biden administration, with the Commerce Secretary overseeing the Census being the former governor of Rhode Island, Rhode Island did not lose a seat, and Florida did not receive the expected additional representation. DeSantis and some Republican lawmakers are pressing the issue, seeking changes in congressional apportionment that could benefit Florida and potentially aid Republicans in redistricting efforts. The push for a new U.S. House seat for Florida is part of ongoing debates over census accuracy and congressional district boundaries.
