The funny part is how gerrymandered her district is:
They made sure not to connect Winston-Salem to Greensboro (both relatively blue cities,), and split Greensboro amongst three “sure thing” red districts.
So their plan expected to completely dilute Greensboro to all red, but instead got 3 blue districts for their trouble.
Broadly, NC is extremely gerrymandered, and it only at least partially worked to dilute Winston-Salem and Fayetteville. Another painfully gerrymandered district that went blue:
Despite their best efforts they ended up with only 3 GOP. Will go down in history as textbook “dummy mandering”
