President Donald Trump posted on X on September 4, criticizing the Missouri Supreme Court's ruling to redraw congressional maps, calling it “ridiculous, horrible, and unConstitutional” and warning that there is not enough time before the election to implement the change. He said the ruling disrupts the electoral process.
Trump wrote: “The Missouri Supreme Court just ridiculously ruled in favor of changing the maps back to what they were a long time ago. It’s called, Ancient History! The problem is, according to Legal Scholars, that not only was the ruling horrible, ridiculous, and unConstitutional, but there won’t be enough time to change the map back with the Election coming up in a very short period of time. The Election Process, as usual, is being disturbed in America! Missouri must be able to use the map that was in effect just a couple of months ago, in the Primary. This is a Dark Day for ‘Justice’ in Missouri!”
The post, retweeted from Trump’s own account, comes as the state’s redistricting battle continues. Legal experts and officials have offered differing views on the ruling’s constitutionality and timeline implications.
