美国马里兰州联邦众议员安迪·哈里斯（R-马里兰州）是该国会代表团中唯一的共和党议员，他指责州长韦斯·摩尔支持一项州宪法修正案，该修正案可能通过重划选区消除他的席位，并辩称这一举措背后是州长所谓的总统野心。
这项修正案如果在11月获得选民批准，将让由民主党控制的州议会获得更大权限，可以在2028年选举前重新划分该州的国会选区。
“州长无疑带头试图消除马里兰州代表团中唯一的共和党议员，以实现他的总统抱负，”哈里斯在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。“很明显，这样做不是为了马里兰州，而是为了一个全国性的议程。”
摩尔多次表示他不会参加2028年总统竞选，但围绕他可能参选白宫的猜测仍在持续。

哈里斯还指责摩尔在周三举行“拍照造势”活动，公开签署将修正案纳入今年秋季投票的法案。
根据马里兰州宪法第十四条，该法案周二在参众两院均以五分之三多数通过，这是修正案成为投票议题的唯一要求。
“摩尔州长从来不错过为他的总统抱负拍照的机会，他召开了一场签署仪式，考虑到实际上没有什么需要州长签署的东西，这有点不同寻常，”哈里斯说。“但再说一遍，这一切都是作秀。目的是让他能 Gavin Newsom 对视时说，‘是的，我也为中期重划选区做了点什么。’”
福克斯新闻数字频道已联系摩尔的办公室置评。
哈里斯在从政前是一名麻醉医师，自2011年以来一直代表马里兰州第一国会选区。该选区涵盖整个东海岸——该州相对农村的地区，以及巴尔的摩县的部分区域。

哈里斯反对的这项拟议修正案可能会让州议员拆分他的选区，使共和党人无法获胜。
就目前而言，马里兰州宪法要求州议会选区和美国国会选区尊重自然边界以及现有的县和市政界限。
该修正案将取消国会选区的这些要求，但保留州立法选区的相关规定。
“这绝对在马里兰州建立了重划选区的双重标准。再说一次，其公然企图就是消除共和党代表权，”哈里斯说。

马里兰州投票失误引发众议院共和党人在初选前展开调查
该修正案已经面临来自监督项目的法庭挑战，这是一个保守派监督组织，周四晚间向安妮阿伦德尔县巡回法院提起诉讼，要求将该议题从11月的投票中移除。
监督项目指责州议员绕过了引入全州投票议题的既定7月1日截止日期。
该修正案的投票议题由马里兰州众议院议长何塞琳·佩尼亚-梅尔尼克和参议院议长比尔·弗格森于8月3日提出，比截止日期晚了一个多月。
福克斯新闻数字频道已联系佩尼亚-梅尔尼克和弗格森置评。
佩尼亚-梅尔尼克和弗格森在立法会议尾声提出这一动议，是对2022年法院裁决的回应，当时该裁决推翻了民主党议员提出的国会选区地图。
林恩·巴塔利亚法官发现，当时的地图——为哈里斯的选区增加了更多民主党选民——没有充分考虑到全州的自然边界和政治分区。

双重法院裁决重塑众议院战场，民主党人艰难应对重划选区斗争
修改州宪法或许可以绕过这一限制，但哈里斯表示，即使选民批准了该修正案，也不能保证随后绘制的带有“极端党派分赃式选区划分”的地图会获得法院批准。
如果州议会试图消除或大幅削弱他所在选区的共和党投票力量，哈里斯表示，他将根据巴塔利亚2022年的裁决所确立的先例提起诉讼。
与此同时，摩尔将他对该修正案的支持描述为对全国范围内共和党重划选区的必要回应，他将其称为“政治红线划界”。
“一年多来，我一直警告说，唐纳德·特朗普和全国各地的共和党人正试图操纵制度、削弱投票权，并让这种痛苦永久化。我为我们团结一致采取行动感到自豪，”摩尔说。“我仍然相信我们的国家需要全国性的重划选区改革。但在那之前，不作为不是一个选择。”

民主党人在中期选举中瞄准另外12个红领选区，试图夺回众议院多数席位
哈里斯驳斥了摩尔的说法，即共和党应对目前在数十个州上演的重划选区斗争负责。
他指出，由奥巴马政府时期（2009年至2015年）司法部长埃里克·霍尔德创立的重划选区组织，积极提起诉讼，试图改变北卡罗来纳州和阿拉巴马州的立法和国会选区地图。
不过，得克萨斯州共和党人在2003年成功实施了十年一次人口普查之间的国会重划。最高法院在2006年基本维持了这一重划，但表示其中一个选区违反了《选举权法案》，因为它削弱了拉丁裔的投票力量。

尽管法院支持在十年一次人口普查之间重新绘制国会选区地图的合法性，但哈里斯表示，他希望未来不再采用这种做法。
“我不认为这对任何人有好处，”哈里斯说。“这对民主不利。你需要了解你的选民，你的选民也需要了解他们的代表。在我们现有的代议制政府中，这一点很重要。”

Maryland’s lone congressional Republican blasts Moore’s redistricting push as alleged 2028 White House play
August 7, 2026 12:46pm EDT / Fox News
U.S. Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., told Fox News Digital in an interview that Gov. Wes Moore is not “paying attention to Maryland issues” and is more concerned with the “national political scene.”

U.S. Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., the only Republican in Maryland’s congressional delegation, is accusing Gov. Wes Moore of backing an amendment to the state constitution that could eliminate his district through redistricting, arguing that the push is driven by the governor’s alleged presidential ambitions.
The amendment, if approved by voters in November, would give the Democratic-controlled General Assembly far greater latitude to redraw the state’s congressional districts ahead of the 2028 election.
“The governor certainly led the charge in trying to eliminate the only Republican in the Maryland delegation in furtherance of his presidential aspirations,” Harris told Fox News Digital in an interview. “It’s obvious that this is not being done for Maryland, it is being done for a national agenda.”
Moore has repeatedly said he is not running for president in 2028. but speculation around his potential White House bid remains.

Harris also called out Moore for engaging in a “photo-op” on Wednesday by publicly signing the bill that will put the amendment on the ballot this fall.
The bill passed Tuesday with three-fifths majorities in both chambers, which is the only requirement for an amendment to become a ballot question, according to Article XIV of the Maryland Constitution.
“Gov. Moore, never missing a photo op for his presidential aspirations, convened a signing ceremony, which is a little unusual considering there’s really nothing to sign for the governor,” Harris said. “But again, this is all for show. This is to make sure that he can look Gavin Newsom in the eye and say, ‘Yeah I did something too for mid-cycle redistricting.’”
Fox News Digital reached out to Moore’s office for comment.
Harris, who worked as an anesthesiologist before getting into politics, has represented Maryland’s first congressional district since 2011. The district contains the entire Eastern Shore, a relatively rural part of the state, as well as parts of Baltimore County.

VIRGINIA VOTERS CEMENT SWING DISTRICT REMATCH AFTER DEMS’ REDISTRICTING FAIL
The proposed amendment Harris is fighting against could allow state lawmakers to carve up his district and make it untenable for a Republican to win.
As it stands, the Maryland Constitution requires General Assembly districts and U.S. House districts to respect natural boundaries and existing county and municipal lines.
The amendment would remove those requirements for congressional districts while leaving them in place for state legislative districts.
“It absolutely sets up a double standard for redistricting in the state of Maryland. And again, the blatant attempt is to eliminate the Republican representation,” Harris said.

MARYLAND BALLOT BLUNDER SPARKS HOUSE GOP PROBE AHEAD OF PRIMARY
The amendment is already facing a court challenge from the Oversight Project, a conservative watchdog group that filed a complaint Thursday night in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court seeking to keep it off the November ballot.
The Oversight Project accused state legislators of bypassing the established July 1 deadline to introduce statewide ballot questions.
The ballot question for the amendment was introduced by Maryland House Speaker Joseline Peña-Melnyk and Senate President Bill Ferguson on Aug. 3, more than a month after the deadline.
Fox News Digital reached out to Peña-Melnyk and Ferguson for comment.
The move by Peña-Melnyk and Ferguson at the tail end of the legislative session is a response to a 2022 court ruling that struck down Democratic lawmakers’ proposed congressional map at the time.
Judge Lynne Battaglia found that the map — which added more Democratic voters to Harris’ district — failed to give sufficient regard to the natural boundaries and political subdivisions throughout the state.

TWIN COURT RULINGS RESHAPE HOUSE BATTLEFIELD AS DEMOCRATS FIGHT UPHILL REDISTRICTING BATTLE
Amending the state constitution could be a way to get around this, but Harris said that even if voters approve the amendment, it would not guarantee that the courts would approve subsequently drawn maps that have “hyper-partisan gerrymandering.”
If the state legislature tried to eliminate or substantially dilute Republican voting power his district, Harris said he would sue based on the precedent set by Battaglia’s 2022 ruling.
Meanwhile, Moore has framed his support of the amendment as a necessary response to GOP redistricting around the country, which he called “political redlining.”
“For over a year, I have warned that Donald Trump and Republicans across the country are working to rig the system, weaken voting rights, and make this pain permanent. I am proud that today we united and took action,” Moore said. “I continue to believe that our country needs national redistricting reform. But until that happens, inaction is not an option.”

DEMOCRATS TARGETING 12 ADDITIONAL RED DISTRICTS IN MIDTERMS PUSH TO RETAKE HOUSE
Harris pushed back on Moore’s assertion that Republicans are responsible for the current redistricting battle playing out in dozens of states.
He pointed out that the redistricting organization founded by Eric Holder, who served as attorney general under President Obama from 2009 to 2015, aggressively pursued litigation to change legislative and congressional maps in North Carolina and Alabama.
However, a mid-decade congressional redraw was successfully enacted by Texas Republicans in 2003. The Supreme Court largely upheld the redraw in 2006 but said one district violated the Voting Rights Act because it diluted Latino voting strength.

Although courts have upheld the legality of redrawing congressional maps between the decennial censuses, Harris said he would like to move away from the practice in the future.
“I don’t think it is good for anyone,” Harris said. “It’s not good for democracy. You get to know your constituents, your constituents get to know their representative. That’s important in a representative government like we have.”
