Quite possibly. The trend in VA is quite Democratic with the burgeoning NOVA and Hispanic vote, and the SW part of the state abandoning Democrats much as they lose share of state population. NC meanwhile doesn't have nearly the same strong demographic trend. Democrats have expected it to emerge there any election now for three decades, but the northern transplants haven't been nearly as Democratic as say FL as expected, and Dixiecrat drain just continued and continued....

I wouldn't be surprised to see their PVI grow farther apart, and readily split in close elections for a while.
