'LONG-STANDING ISSUE': DeSantis defends Florida redistricting map proposal

Published | Video Starts at 01:42

I vetoed the Legislature's maps in 2022. We ended up doing a compromise map, got rid of a racially gerrymandered district in north Florida, but We still had one [racially gerrymandered district] in southern Florida, which I don't think is constitutional.
