President of the Kentucky Senate Robert Stivers, cautioning against efforts to redraw Kentucky’s congressional map to eliminate the state’s lone Democratic seat. The longtime legislative leader said he pushed back on White House pressure to gerrymander the map, pointing to past attempts that backfired politically, including a 1990s redraw aimed at then-Rep. Hal Rogers that instead weakened Democrats and helped Republicans flip seats. (Lexington Herald-Leader)
