It’s déjà vu in the Maryland General Assembly after the House of Delegates cleared a bill on Friday that would change state constitutional language around Congressional redistricting.

Two months ago, House Democrats passed HB0488, which has four key provisions related to a new Democratic-leaning Congressional map — a map they had hoped would be in place for the upcoming November 2026 election.

The first part of the bill is the map itself, which loops more Democratic voters into Maryland’s 1st Congressional District, currently held by Congressman Andy Harris (R-District 1).
