The GOP-led North Carolina Legislature approved a new congressional map.
The new map gives Republicans an opportunity to flip multiple House seats.
It is likely to face multiple challenges.
The Hill reported:
A new congressional map in North Carolina could set multiple House seats up to flip in Republicans’ favor, dealing a blow to Democrats heading into 2024.
The GOP-led state Legislature approved the new map this week that could tilt the balance of North Carolina’s House delegation — now evenly split between seven Democrats and seven Republicans — and boost Republicans as they try to defend their narrow House majority next year.
…
The new lines make at least 10 of the state’s 14 districts favor Republicans, according to multiple analyses — and the changes have already spurred shake-ups in the state’s 2024 election landscape.
Just after the map was approved, first-term Rep. Jeff Jackson (D-N.C.) decided against running for reelection to his seat and announced a bid to become North Carolina’s attorney general in 2024.
The Republicans can take up to 11 House Seats which would leave Democrats with just three.
New: NC Republicans just passed a new gerrymander that could flip the state from 7D-7R to as lopsided as 11R-3D. It dooms Reps. Kathy Manning (D) in #NC06, Wiley Nickel (D) in #NC13 and Jeff Jackson (D) in #NC14 and puts Rep. Don Davis (D) in a Toss Up #NC01. https://t.co/DYLuUYt2Ui
