North Carolina became the latest GOP-controlled state to announce it will gerrymander its congressional map to please President Donald Trump.

Legislative leaders formally scheduled a vote for next week to redraw the state’s U.S. House districts — an extreme, mid-decade power grab aimed at cementing the GOP’s edge in Congress.

The move follows Trump’s call for red-state legislatures to “fix” congressional maps before 2026, a message embraced by Republican leaders from Texas to Missouri who have already enacted their own gerrymanders.

Under its most recent map, passed in 2023, North Carolina’s House delegation retains a 10-4 Republican majority, even though the state is closely divided between Republicans and Democrats. Now, GOP leaders want to go even further, targeting congressional District 1, a Democratic-held, majority-minority district that could flip under GOP line changes.

1. These efforts have a pretty good chance of backfiring.

They have to dilute their strength to spread it around. With the right political climate they could lose seats.

2. I asked google what would an A I drawn nc redistricting map look like

It didn’t return an image but said it would be 7-7 which would fairly represent the state’s voting trends . It’s now 10-4 after the latest gerrymandering , and they hope for 11-3 … ugh

Here is the current 2025 map before the next planned gerrymander
