Some turnover can be attributed to redistricting after the Republican-controlled General Assembly approved districts skewing rightward, prompting three Democrats to forgo reelection bids; Republican Reps.

Patrick McHenry and Dan Bishop also declined to seek reelection

The results of past elections indicate the new districts will likely elect at least 10 Republicans; Currently, the state's congressional delegation has seven Republicans and seven Democrats
