"Democratic Rep. Manning bows out of re-election race, citing GOP-favored district"

Democrat Rep. Kathy Manning, who represents North Carolina's 6th Congressional District, announced she will not run for re-election in 2024, citing "egregiously gerrymandered" districts that favor Republicans. She accused the Republican-led state legislature of rigging the race against her and reducing the number of Democrats representing those districts. Manning expressed her disgust at the splitting of the Democratic stronghold of Greensboro into three different districts that include more rural areas. She plans to reconsider her decision if pending lawsuits force the state legislature to redraw the districts.
