Hakeem Jeffries urged Maryland's state Senate to vote on a proposed congressional map, while Senate President Bill Ferguson opposed advancing it. The map could reshape the state's congressional delegation.

Center outlets pair the vote dispute with the map's possible Democratic advantage and Ferguson's opposition; a separate center article covers Jeffries's affordability remarks. Right-leaning outlets emphasize the potential loss of the state's sole Republican-held seat and Ferguson's legal and political objections.
