The Supreme Court on Monday issued a ruling barring the redrawing of boundary lines, for the 2026 midterm elections, of the only congressional district in New York City currently held by a Republican.
The decision is a victory for the incumbent, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, the Staten Island Republican, who had asked the Supreme Court to hear her bid to block the new lines for November’s election.
The Supreme Court ruling is a potentially significant one for Republicans, who are trying to retain their narrow majorities in both chambers of Congress.
