A Florida Republican warns her party not to get greedy in redistricting

A prominent Florida Republican is cautioning that an ambitious new gerrymander is not in the cards for the GOP, while infighting between legislative leaders and Gov. Ron DeSantis could potentially jeopardize an upcoming special session on redistricting.

In a new interview with the Washington Post, Rep. Kat Cammack warned that Florida Republicans cannot safely hope to do what their counterparts in Texas did last summer.

“One thing that needs to be made clear: We are not picking up five seats,” she said. “Drawing five new seats would put others in danger.”

Cammack added that targeting three Democratic districts would only be plausible “[o]n our best day,” saying that two was (in the paper’s words) “more realistic.”

Tinkering around with it would HAVE to add more blues to red districts.

In this environment, they may not get what they wish for.
