少数族群领袖哈凯姆·杰弗里斯(Hakeem Jeffries)敦促马里兰州参议院投票决定一份新的国会地图, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries urged Maryland’s Senate to vote on a new congressional map to combat gerrymandering, but it faces rejection due to legal concerns and partisan divides.

众议院少数派领袖哈凯姆·杰弗里斯于2026年2月19日访问安纳波利斯,敦促马里兰州参议院议长比尔·弗格森允许对众议院新绘制的国会地图进行表决。 House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries visited Annapolis on February 19, 2026, urging Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson to allow a vote on a newly drawn congressional map passed by the House of Delegates. 而Ferguson和大多数参议院民主党人则以法律风险及支持不足为由反对周期中期重新划分选区。 Jeffries argued the map would create competitive districts and counter Republican gerrymandering, while Ferguson and most Senate Democrats oppose mid-cycle redistricting, citing legal risks and insufficient support. 拟议的地图可以将马里兰州代表团转变为80-0个民主党多数,取消共和国独一的席位,但可能遭到参议院的否决。 The proposed map could shift Maryland’s delegation to an 8-0 Democratic majority, eliminating the lone Republican seat, but faces a likely Senate rejection. 辩论反映了在2026年选举前重新划分选区问题上更广泛的党派紧张。 The debate reflects broader partisan tensions over redistricting ahead of the 2026 elections.
