Backed by encouragement from <strong data-start=\"239\" data-end=\"272\">former President Donald Trump<\/strong>, these efforts are part of a coordinated push to strengthen Republican control of the <strong data-start=\"359\" data-end=\"392\">U.S. House of Representatives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"397\" data-end=\"951\">In <strong data-start=\"400\" data-end=\"418\">North Carolina<\/strong>, the GOP has advanced a new map expected to give Republicans an advantage in <strong data-start=\"496\" data-end=\"532\">11 of 14 congressional districts<\/strong>, up from 10. The proposal \u2014 which specifically targets Democratic Rep. <strong data-start=\"604\" data-end=\"619\">Don Davis\u2019s<\/strong> seat \u2014 passed the state Senate despite strong opposition from Democrats. Because Governor <strong data-start=\"710\" data-end=\"724\">Josh Stein<\/strong>, a Democrat, cannot veto redistricting bills under state law, the plan is almost certain to move forward. Republican lawmakers defended the map as reflecting \u201cvoter will\u201d and preserving Trump\u2019s political legacy in the state.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"1296\">Meanwhile, <strong data-start=\"964\" data-end=\"1000\">California Governor Gavin Newsom<\/strong> is pursuing a dramatically different approach. A proposed <strong data-start=\"1059\" data-end=\"1077\">ballot measure<\/strong> backed by Democrats would temporarily suspend California\u2019s independent redistricting commission to create <strong data-start=\"1184\" data-end=\"1223\">five new Democrat-leaning districts<\/strong>, a move seen as a strategic counter to Republican maneuvers elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1715\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Similar partisan redistricting drives are unfolding in <strong data-start=\"1353\" data-end=\"1393\">Texas, Missouri, Kansas, and Indiana<\/strong>, where GOP leaders seek to secure additional seats before the next election cycle. Republicans currently control both the governorship and legislature in <strong data-start=\"1548\" data-end=\"1561\">23 states<\/strong>, compared to <strong data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1595\">15 for Democrats<\/strong> \u2014 a structural advantage that could have major implications for the <strong data-start=\"1664\" data-end=\"1696\">balance of power in Congress<\/strong> for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The national battle over redistricting is heating up as Republican-led legislatures across multiple states move to redraw congressional maps
