They already gerrymandered a 10-4 edge in 2024 by replacing a fairer map that split 7-7 in 2022.

The North Carolina GOP’s 2024 gerrymander already targeted Don Davis (D), but he narrowly won while Trump won his 1st District by 3 points.

Their new 2026 gerrymander increases Trump’s margin to 12 points by removing even more Black voters, making it likely that a white Republican will defeat Davis
