US EditionNorth 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.
- On Monday, North Carolina Senate Elections Committee will convene in Raleigh as lawmakers discuss redrawing the state's U.S. House district map while reporters monitor the session.
- GOP Sen. Ralph Hise framed the effort as aimed at 2026 midterms, with Republican leaders saying the redraw seeks an additional GOP seat after President Donald Trump's nationwide push.
- 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 North Carolina House for expected final passage Wednesday, and litigation is likely since Democratic Gov. Josh Stein cannot veto it.
- Civil-Rights advocates warn the plan could violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, saying it "weakens the representation of Black North Carolinians," while NC Senate leader Phil Berger said `We are doing everything we can to protect President Trump's agenda.
