Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis scored a major political victory in his standoff with Republicans in the state legislature as they effectively handed him the power to determine Florida’s new Congressional districts.

DeSantis had vetoed two maps in March that were passed by fellow Republicans in the legislature, arguing they featured unconstitutional racial gerrymandering. The legislature will not draw a new map and will instead allow DeSantis to execute his vision for Florida’s new district lines, state House Speaker Chris Sprowls and state Senate President Wilton Simpson said in a memo to state lawmakers on Monday.
