Tuesday's primaries in North Carolina are expected to bring significant changes to the composition of the U.S. House delegation in the state. The Republican-controlled General Assembly redrew districts previously drawn by judges, likely resulting in a shift from a delegation of seven Democrats and seven Republicans to one with 10 Republicans and four Democrats.

Five out of the 14 incumbents are not seeking reelection, including Democratic Reps. Jeff Jackson, Kathy Manning, and Wiley Nickel, as well as Republican Reps. Dan Bishop and Patrick McHenry. The redistricting changes have made some districts more heavily tilted towards Republicans.
