Backed by <strong data-start=\"236\" data-end=\"269\">former President Donald Trump<\/strong>, these efforts could reshape the political landscape ahead of the next federal elections.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"363\" data-end=\"892\">In <strong data-start=\"366\" data-end=\"384\">North Carolina<\/strong>, Republicans advanced a map that would likely secure the party <strong data-start=\"448\" data-end=\"480\">11 of 14 congressional seats<\/strong>, up from 10. The plan, which targets Democratic Rep. <strong data-start=\"534\" data-end=\"549\">Don Davis\u2019s<\/strong> district, passed the state Senate despite strong Democratic opposition. Because state law bars <strong data-start=\"645\" data-end=\"668\">Governor Josh Stein<\/strong>, a Democrat, from vetoing redistricting bills, the new map is expected to take effect. GOP leaders defended the move as a reflection of Trump\u2019s past electoral strength in the state and an effort to \u201cprotect voter intent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"894\" data-end=\"1441\">Meanwhile, <strong data-start=\"905\" data-end=\"919\">California<\/strong> is taking an opposite approach. Governor <strong data-start=\"961\" data-end=\"977\">Gavin Newsom<\/strong> is backing a <strong data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1010\">ballot proposal<\/strong> to temporarily suspend the state\u2019s independent redistricting commission, allowing Democrats to create up to <strong data-start=\"1119\" data-end=\"1154\">five new left-leaning districts<\/strong> \u2014 a clear counter to Republican maneuvers elsewhere. Similar GOP-driven redistricting pushes are underway in <strong data-start=\"1264\" data-end=\"1304\">Texas, Missouri, Kansas, and Indiana<\/strong>, where lawmakers are redrawing boundaries to expand conservative influence, often sparking <strong data-start=\"1396\" data-end=\"1438\">legal challenges and activist backlash<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1443\" data-end=\"1769\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">With <strong data-start=\"1448\" data-end=\"1485\">Republicans controlling 23 states<\/strong> outright \u2014 compared to <strong data-start=\"1509\" data-end=\"1529\">15 for Democrats<\/strong> \u2014 the party holds a decisive advantage in shaping the next congressional map. The outcome of this redistricting wave could determine not only control of the House but also the <strong data-start=\"1706\" data-end=\"1750\">balance of political power in Washington<\/strong> for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A heated national redistricting battle is unfolding as Republican-led legislatures across several states move to redraw
