This is your RNC News podcast.

North Carolina Republicans are making major headlines as they prepare to redraw the state’s congressional map. According to Fox News, this effort is being closely coordinated with President Donald Trump, who is looking to boost the GOP’s edge in the House ahead of the 2026 midterms. North Carolina House Speaker Destin Hall said the goal is to deliver another Republican congressional seat, aiming to lock in the party’s narrow House majority. Democrats in the state, including Governor Josh Stein, are criticizing the move as an abuse of power and accuse the GOP of gerrymandering to insulate themselves from voter accountability. These changes would not be subject to the governor’s veto, setting up a power struggle that mirrors similar redistricting battles in Texas, Missouri, and several other GOP-led states. Meanwhile, Democrats in places like California are working to flip the script by trying to reclaim redistricting authority for their own legislatures.

On the national stage, the Republican National Committee, recently restructured with Trump loyalists at the helm, is squarely focused on supporting the president’s legislative and electoral agenda. The RNC is ramping up fundraising and ground operations for upcoming races, particularly after special congressional elections this year saw Republicans hold onto key Florida seats once held by Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz, as detailed on Wikipedia’s 2025 United States elections page. Special elections are also ongoing in Texas and Tennessee to fill House vacancies, with both parties closely watching results for shifts in the balance of power.

Looking toward state races, Republican candidates are preparing for gubernatorial contests in New Jersey, where Democrats have held the governor’s mansion, and Virginia, where Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin is term-limited. Virginia will also elect a new lieutenant governor and attorney general, with the current Republican officeholders either retiring or running for higher office. Local and legislative contests in several states remain pivotal, as GOP-controlled legislatures pursue conservative policy agendas amid intensified debates over topics such as education, redistricting, and social issues.

The Republican Party’s dominant themes continue to center on championing conservative positions, rallying around Trump’s agenda, and leveraging legislative control for electoral advantage where possible. At the same time, Democrats are redoubling efforts in their strongholds in anticipation of further GOP maneuvers on redistricting and state policy.
