A federal panel approved North Carolinas new congressional map, shifting a key seat towards Republicans and targeting Democratic U.S. Representative Don Davis swing district. The map aims to influence the upcoming 2026 elections, aligning with former President Trumps broader redistricting efforts across several states. Despite denying requests for a preliminary injunction, the panel upheld several other redrawn U.S. House districts that Republican state lawmakers initially put into effect in 2023. North Carolina is one of several states where Trump has directed the Republican Party to redraw maps mid-decade, with varied outcomes and lower courts often blocked by the conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court.
