Phil Berger is steamrolling the will of the people and rigging our maps, again. All for a Donald Trump endorsement.
Redistricting Watch
The fight for our democracy has arrived in North Carolina. It’s no shocker that the Republicans are scared of losing, they’re failing at every level of government. They can’t pass a budget, they can’t deliver on their promises, and they know their policies are deeply unpopular. So instead of earning votes, they’re rigging the maps, again. This time targeting a U.S. House seat to give themselves and Donald Trump a leg up heading into 2026.
Last month it was reported that President Trump was pressuring Senate Leader Phil Berger to draw new maps favorable to congressional Republicans in exchange for a political favor. Berger denied it, of course—but his actions told the real story. Senator Berger announced “we will hold votes in our October session to redraw North Carolina’s congressional map.” Once again, Phil Berger Destin Hall, is proving that they’ll do whatever it takes to please Donald, even if it means steamrolling the will of North Carolinians.
