Hakeem Jeffries met with Maryland Democrats to urge a Senate vote on a proposed congressional map, while Senate President Bill Ferguson maintained his opposition. The map could give Democrats an 8-0 advantage in the state’s congressional delegation and leave Republican Andy Harris without his seat.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries met with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, state lawmakers and Senate President Bill Ferguson as Democrats pressed for a vote on a proposed congressional map. Jeffries said Ferguson “authentically believes” the Senate lacks the votes, but argued that the Senate should hold an up-or-down vote. Ferguson has opposed mid-cycle redistricting, citing legal, timing and political concerns, and said many members of his caucus believe the plan could backfire in state courts and cost Democrats seats in Congress.
Moore urged the Senate to act, while Maryland Republican leaders called the visit and pressure campaign partisan. The proposed map has passed the House of Delegates and could give Democrats an 8-0 advantage in Maryland’s congressional delegation, potentially unseating the state’s only Republican member, Andy Harris. Political analyst John Dedie said the visit may have been intended to show Democratic supporters that party leaders were acting, and speculated that it could also signal support for Moore’s possible 2028 presidential run.
