<p>The Republican-controlled North Carolina House approved a new congressional map on Wednesday, a day after the measure cleared the state Senate, likely securing another U.S. House seat for Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections.</p>
<p>The new map passed the state House along party lines in a vote of 66-48, as Democrats condemned the effort, the Raleigh News &amp; Observer <a href="https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article312584734.html">reported</a>. The current North Carolina House delegation is made up of 10 Republicans and four Democrats, and the new congressional map is projected to shift that to 11 Republicans and three Democrats.</p>
<p>State law does not allow North Carolina&#8217;s governor, Democrat Josh Stein, to veto the new map, meaning the process is finished, pending any legal challenges.</p>
<p>President Donald Trump has urged Republican-led states to draw new congressional maps that are more favorable to the GOP ahead of next year&#8217;s midterms. North Carolina House Republican Majority Leader Brenden Jones celebrated the map&#8217;s passage, saying, “It’s a fact that we will send one more Republican to Congress from this great state.”</p>
<p>Jones also responded to the criticism over the redistricting and had some advice for Democrats.</p>
<p>“You can be mad about redistricting all you want, but you need to look in the mirror and ask yourself, what got us here?” he said.</p>
<p>The new map will mostly affect Democratic Rep. Don Davis, whose district will shift from an area that voted for Trump by just three percentage points to one that voted for Trump by 11 points in the 2024 election.</p>

<p>A spokesman for Davis <a href="https://x.com/ReubenJones1/status/1980345787109568915">told</a> Spectrum News that he will run again next year but is considering entering the race for the 3rd district, where Republicans would also be favored.</p>
<p>State House Democratic Leader Robert Reives said that the passage of the new map represented a grave omen for “our independence, our democracy.”</p>
<p>“I would ask that you mark this day, because one day they’re coming to you, they’re going to ask you to do something that you just can’t do,&#8221; Reives added. &#8220;And because we have set the precedent that only one man in this party matters, you’re going home.”</p>
<p>Republican state Senator Phil Berger <a href="https://x.com/SenatorBerger/status/1980641716311851245">said</a> that the new map &#8220;respects the will of the North Carolina voters who sent President Trump to the White House three times.&#8221;</p>
<p>So far, Texas, Missouri, and now North Carolina have <a href="https://apnews.com/article/redistricting-gerrymandering-congress-trump-0af8561b1670032fae3e1d2aec7905f0">passed</a> new congressional maps that will likely help Republicans in the midterm elections. Other red states, including Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska, and Louisiana, are also redistricting.</p>
<p>Democrat-led states, such as California, New York, and Illinois, have either introduced or are considering new congressional maps likely to put more Democrats in Congress. After Texas approved a new congressional map expected to give Republicans five additional House seats, California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom urged residents in his state to respond in kind by backing a statewide measure on the November ballot that would change the Golden State&#8217;s congressional map to favor Democrats.</p>
