Trump, 80, wrote that "the Supreme Court of the United States will just not let Missouri have an Election Victory," claiming the justices have now overruled lower court judges on the matter three times. Republicans in Missouri drew the new electoral map hoping to gain a leg up in state races, including a shot at flipping a seat currently held by Democrats.
The court's refusal keeps that redrawn map on hold for now, as the midterms approach. Missouri Republicans lose the district lines they wanted, at least for the moment. Democrats in the state get a rare bit of breathing room in a redistricting fight that's played out in courtrooms rather than at the ballot box.
Trump didn't say what comes next, but the fight over how Missouri's districts get drawn clearly isn't over. A president picks the justices, and then finds out they don't always pick him back.
