Longtime House Democrat Rep. Mike McIntyre of North Carolina will not seek re-election in 2014, according to Democratic aides.

McIntyre was one of this cycle’s most vulnerable Democrats and his departure will likely allow the GOP to pick up his seat. Mitt Romney carried the 7th District by a 19-point margin in 2012, while McIntyre won re-election by a slim margin.
