Digest more
North Carolina Republicans passed a new congressional map Wednesday that will likely give the GOP one more red-leaning seat in next year’s midterms, the latest in a string of White House-backed redistricting efforts.
The state Senate approved a plan to redraw northeastern North Carolina’s 1st Congressional District to favor a GOP candidate. The area has largely been represented by a Black Democrat for decades. The House will consider the plan Tuesday.
