Democrats in Florida are a minority and it may only get worse after the GOP-controlled legislature begins its redistricting process later this year. This is going to make it even more difficult for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to keep her iron grip on the U.S. House.

Florida House Democratic co-Leader Evan Jenne is already sounding the alarm about the Florida Legislature’s 2022 session, where they will discuss and make moves on redistricting.  “A lot of people’s political careers will hang in the balance of what comes out of those redistricting subcommittees and the Legislature as a whole,” Jenne said.

According to Politico, Democrats fear that Republicans will use the state’s massive population growth, especially along the key I-4 corridor as a means of eliminating some of their congressional seats.
