The U.S. Supreme Court once again refused on Thursday to use the Missouri congressional maps backed by President Donald Trump, dealing a blow to Republicans who are trying to gain control of the House of Representatives in the upcoming midterm elections.
The decision comes after a heated legal battle just before the start of mail-in voting in the crucial November elections. The congressional district maps were drawn with the aim of helping Republicans win an additional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
This is the second time the Supreme Court has declined to intervene to uphold the Trump-backed maps.
