On May 29, 2026, Louisiana Republicans approved a new congressional map that eliminates a majority-Black congressional district. This decision follows a landmark Supreme Court ruling that addressed concerns about the dilution of Black voters' influence under the previous map enacted after the 2020 census. The new map is expected to give Republicans control of five out of six congressional seats in Louisiana, compared to the previous 4-2 Republican-Democrat split. The bill will now be sent to Governor Jeff Landry, who is anticipated to sign it.
