Chris Pappas in far greater danger of losing reelection.<\/p>\n<p>The new, two-seat map, passed by the state House on Wednesday, would likely result in one member from each party in most election cycles, and Pappas\u2019 1st district is substantially redrawn. Republicans hold the governorship and majorities in both the New Hampshire state House and Senate, meaning that they have the ability to adopt new congressional and state legislative lines without any Democratic support.<\/p>\n<p>The new 1st district cedes the liberal-leaning towns of Dover and Portsmouth. While the current district voted for President Joe Biden by six points in 2020, the new district would have voted for former President Donald Trump by two, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Redistrict\/status\/1479104801405169674\">according<\/a> to David Wasserman, a senior editor at the Cook Political Report.<\/p>\n<p>Pappas, first elected in 2018, won reelection against former Trump administration official Matt Mowers by five points in 2020. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/12\/28\/michigan-approves-new-us-house-map-leading-to-an-incumbent-v-incumbent-primary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Michigan Approves New US House Map, Incumbent V.
