Since becoming the presumptive GOP nominee, Donald Trump has almost entirely ignored the down-ticket races in his party. But he did go out of his way to support Rep. Renee Ellmers, a Tea Party Republican running for reelection in North Carolina’s second district. Trump made robocalls for Ellmers, and she touted his endorsement in e-mails to her supporters.

Early Tuesday evening, Ellmers lost her primary to George Holdings, a Tea Party-backed congressional representative who, thanks to gerrymandering in North Carolina, was drawn into the same district as Ellmers.

That redistricting plan is currently being challenged in court for unconstitutionally packing black voters into fewer districts to limit their political power and make it easier for Republicans to maintain a majority. Ironically, Ellmers, a white Republican, is now falling victim to the plan. She is the first GOP incumbent to lose her seat in 2016.
