Rep. Don Davis: Voting is about ’empowering people, not short-term power plays’

From MSNBC.

North Carolina has adopted a new Trump-backed map designed to give Republicans an additional House seat during the 2026 midterm elections. This could effectively unseat Democratic Congressman Don Davis, who represents the state’s majority-Black district, in what’s known as The Black Belt. “They met to take up a new map to attempt to predetermine…the outcome of an election 377 days away,” Davis said. “So we are sitting here in North Carolina without a budget. A lot of the schools are trying to figure out the future, what pathway they’re going to head on, and decisions that need to be made. We’re dealing with health care issues, but we’re redrawing maps. Everybody’s left scratching their head.”
