16:32Now PlayingFlorida’s Republicancontrolled legislature has passed Ron DeSantis’s incredibly gerrymandered congressional voting map to the dismay of Democratic lawmakers and voters across the state. The map will reportedly eliminate districts from Black Democratic lawmakers while packing Black voters into just one district in St. Petersburg and Tampa. Cenk Uygur, Jayar Jackson, and Bridget Todd discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"Florida's Republican-controlled House voted along party lines Thursday to approve a congressional map drawn by the office of right-wing Gov. Ron DeSantis, a move that came after state Democrats staged a sit-in on the chamber's floor to condemn the redistricting plan as unconstitutional and racist.
The map, which cleared the state Senate on Wednesday, now heads to DeSantis' desk for his signature—a mere formality given that he preapproved the district lines at the behest of the state Legislature's Republican leaders, who ceded control of the process.
As the vote took place, Florida Democrats chanted that "Black votes are under attack," echoing experts' warnings that the map is "deeply racist." The New York Times reported Wednesday that the redistricting plan "would end the congressional career of [U.S.] Representative Al Lawson, a Black Democrat from Jacksonville, by carving up a district that stretches across North Florida to combine Black neighborhoods in Jacksonville and Tallahassee."
"It would also eliminate an Orlando district held by Representative Val Demings, a Democrat, and pack Black voters from two districts in Tampa and St. Petersburg into one, creating a second district certain to be won by a Republican," the Times noted."
