Maryland Governor Wes Moore has indicated he is actively considering redrawing the state's congressional districts as a response to Republican-led gerrymandering efforts in other states such as Texas. Moore confirmed to CBS News and during interviews that all options are on the table, including potentially eliminating Maryland's sole Republican House seat. He emphasized the importance of weighing retaliatory district maps to counteract what he views as partisan gerrymandering. Moore also drew parallels between Republican gerrymandering initiatives and former President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Separately, Nebraska lawmakers are reportedly contemplating redrawing the 2nd Congressional District in Omaha, which currently leans Democratic.
