Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on September 8, 2026, declined to lift a block on Missouri’s new congressional map, which was expected to provide Republicans with a potential gain in the upcoming midterm elections. Missouri officials conducted their primaries using the new 7-1 House map, but Kavanaugh's decision means that the state will revert to its current 6-2 House map, which is more favorable to Republicans, for the November elections.
