An agreement could potentially restore a North Florida House dismantled by DeSantis, per Politico.
The agreement wouldn't end the litigation over DeSantis' map, but would limit the scope of arguments against the lines.
Ron DeSantis, who's currently running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, wasn't satisfied, submitting a map that dismantled the plurality-Black congressional district of then-Democratic Rep. Al Lawson.
But an ongoing legal challenge to the state's congressional maps has produced an agreement that could restore Lawson's North Florida district for the 2024 election, according to Politico.
Another lawsuit involving the congressional maps is currently in federal court.
