Encouraged by former President Donald Trump, these efforts could strengthen Republican control of the U.S. House ahead of upcoming elections.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"363\" data-end=\"758\">In North Carolina, Republicans are pushing a map projected to give the party an advantage in 11 of 14 congressional districts, up from 10. The plan, which targets Democratic Rep. Don Davis\u2019s seat, passed the state Senate despite protests and Democratic opposition. Governor Josh Stein, a Democrat, cannot veto redistricting proposals under state law, making it likely the measure will advance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"760\" data-end=\"1159\">Republican leaders in North Carolina defend the plan as reflecting voter preferences and Trump\u2019s past electoral success in the state. State Sen. Ralph Hise stated that the purpose of the redraw is to secure another Republican seat, framing it as crucial to preserving Trump\u2019s political agenda. Senate leader Phil Berger echoed that sentiment, arguing the map honors North Carolina voters\u2019 choices.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1161\" data-end=\"1528\">While GOP-led states pursue these changes, California Governor Gavin Newsom is leading an effort in the opposite direction. A proposed ballot measure would allow Democrats to temporarily suspend the state\u2019s independent redistricting commission to create five new Democrat-leaning districts. This move is seen as a countermeasure to Republican initiatives elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1530\" data-end=\"1884\">Similar redistricting efforts are underway in Texas and Missouri, where lawmakers have passed maps favoring additional Republican seats. Both states face legal challenges and activist opposition. In Kansas and Indiana, GOP legislators are exploring potential redraws that could weaken Democratic representation, with support from Trump-aligned figures.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1886\" data-end=\"2127\">Currently, Republicans hold full control of the governorship and legislature in 23 states, compared to 15 for Democrats. That advantage enables the GOP to shape congressional boundaries more extensively ahead of the next federal elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A national redistricting fight is intensifying, with Republican-led legislatures across several states advancing new congressional maps aimed at expanding GOP representation.
