The United States Supreme Court blocked Missouri on Thursday afternoon from using a redrawn congressional map favoring Republicans in the November midterm elections. The ruling deals a setback to President Donald Trump and the party's odds of maintaining its slim majority in the House of Representatives. The emergency order suspends a lower federal judge's decision that allowed the reconfigured boundaries for the November 3 elections.
