Did Republicans take 10 of 13 Congressional seats in the 2018 North Carolina?

In 2018, Republicans won 10 out of 13 seats in North Carolina’s Congress, like winning most of a big game.

Imagine you're playing a board game with your friends. There are 13 spots on the board that need to be claimed, these are like Congressional seats. Each spot represents a part of North Carolina, and whoever wins the most spots gets more power in making rules.

In this case, the Republicans were like the team who scored the most points, they won 10 out of 13 spots, while the Democrats took the other 3. That means the Republicans had a big advantage when it came time to make decisions in Congress.

How It Works

Think of it like a class election. If your class has 13 students voting for representatives, and 10 of them choose one group, that group gets more say in what happens next, just like how Republicans got more power in North Carolina’s government.
