North Carolina has become the first swing state to draw new congressional districts amid a nationwide redistricting battle initiated by President Trump.

North Carolina Republicans have redrawn the state's congressional map, placing the seat of Democratic Rep. Don Davis in jeopardy.

Statewide election data suggest the proposal would result in Republicans winning 11 of those seats, up from the current 10.
