North Carolina continued its biennial tradition of redrawing its congressional map, and the latest iteration has a significant impact on the fight for the House majority.
Empowered by a new majority on the state Supreme Court, Republicans in the North Carolina legislature redrew the congressional map to give the GOP a new and significant advantage in three Democrat-held districts and a fighting chance to take over a fourth seat currently held by a Democrat.
Depending on the outcome of the races next November, the state’s delegation could shift from a post-2022 split between seven Republicans and seven Democrats to a delegation that includes 10 or 11 Republicans and just three or four Democrats.
