The United States Supreme Court blocked a Republican-drawn congressional map in Missouri on Thursday, halting a plan that favored Republican candidates ahead of the November midterm elections. The emergency ruling deals a setback to President Donald Trump's efforts to expand the party's slim majority in the House of Representatives. Republicans currently hold a 219-214 majority in the chamber.
