North Carolina’s GOP-controlled legislature will vote next week on redrawing the state’s House district map, Republican legislative leaders announced on Oct. 13, teeing up the Tar Heel state to join several others that have launched redistricting efforts after President Donald Trump’s call earlier this year to secure more congressional seats for his party.
“President Trump earned a clear mandate from the voters of North Carolina and the rest of the country, and we intend to defend it by drawing an additional Republican congressional seat,” North Carolina House Speaker Destin Hall (R) said in a statement.
