Newly gerrymandered district conveniently includes senator's new house

Of course its gerrymandering.

Gerrymandering isn’t just redrawing a map.

Agreed.

It’s redrawing the map to benefit one party over the other.

Not necessarily.

But to that point, how does it not benefit the incumbent’s party for him to be smoothly reelected in original district?

Plus, you’ve missed a defining point of gerrymandering, that it’s a redrawing of a map in an obviously awkward and unintuitive way.
