North Carolina’s Republican-led legislature said Monday that it will soon begin work on a new congressional map that could yield another Republican-leaning district in the state.
“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,” state House Speaker Destin Hall (R) said in a statement. Republicans hold 10 of North Carolina’s 14 U.S. House seats.
