North Carolina lawmakers vote to add GOP House seat, in win for Trump
The North Carolina Senate approved a map likely to shift one House seat to Republicans, increasing GOP seats to 11 of 14 despite a narrow 2024 presidential margin, lawmakers said.
- North Carolina Senate Elections Committee will convene Monday in Raleigh as lawmakers discuss redrawing the state’s U.S. House district map while reporters monitor the session.
- Republican leaders say the redraw seeks an additional GOP seat for NEXT YEAR's elections, part of a nationwide push after President Donald Trump urged Republican-led states including Texas and California to reshape districts.
- The plan would shift several coastal and inland counties between District 1 and District 3, adding Hyde, Dare and Pamlico to District 1 while moving Pitt, Lenoir and Greene, affecting Representative Don Davis.
- After committee approval, the bill moves to the House for expected final passage later this week and litigation is likely since Democratic Gov. Josh Stein cannot veto the map.
- Civil-Rights advocates warn the plan could violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and weaken Black North Carolinians' representation, while NC Senate leader Phil Berger said, `We are doing everything we can to protect President Trump's agenda, which means safeguarding republican control of Congress.
