RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Democrats rallied Tuesday against a new U.S. House map proposed by North Carolina Republicans that would likely reap another GOP seat at President Donald Trump’s behest, but the critics acknowledged they’ll likely be unable to halt the redraw for now. But they vowed to defeat it in the long run.

The new map offered by Republican legislative leaders seeks to stop the reelection of Democratic Rep. Don Davis, one of North Carolina’s three Black representatives, by redrawing two of the state’s 14 congressional districts. Statewide election data suggests the proposal — which received final Senate approval and cleared a House redistricting committee on Tuesday along party lines — would favor Republicans winning 11 of those seats, up from the current 10 they hold.
