The Missouri Supreme Court did block the new GOP-drawn congressional map, effectively reverting the state to its previous district lines for the November election.

NBC News, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, and KSAT all report that the Missouri Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the new Trump-backed congressional map cannot be used in the 2026 midterms, meaning Missouri's elections will proceed under its prior map while a referendum on the new map appears on the ballot. This directly confirms the claim that the court ruled in favor of reverting to the previous congressional map version.
