Maryland Sen. Arthur Ellis (D-Charles County) defected from his caucus Thursday and left the Senate floor in protest over the refusal to bring up early redistricting for a vote.
The House of Delegates approved a new Congressional map Monday that could oust the state’s sole Republican seat following the 2026 election.
The map passed with only Democratic support, with proponents citing the need to fight back against Trump administration policies, like federal layoffs, healthcare and energy funding cuts and ramped-up immigration enforcement efforts.
