GOP Sweeps North Carolina Special Elections

September 11, 2019 By The Editors

In each of two congressional special elections held yesterday in North Carolina, the GOP candidate won the day. Once their elections are certified, Congressmen-elect Dan Bishop and Greg Murphy will bring the GOP caucus to 199 in the House of Representatives, leaving the party only 19 seats from retaking the majority. Eric Lendrum reports in American Greatness:

Republicans managed to successfully hold both seats in the House of Representatives from North Carolina that were up for grabs in special elections Tuesday, marking three consecutive wins in special elections to the House this year.

In the 3rd congressional district, left vacant after the death of incumbent Walter Jones in February, Republican state representative Greg Murphy defeated Democrat Allen Thomas. In the 9th district, Republican state senator Dan Bishop defeated Democrat Dan McCready.

Of these two races, the 9th district was seen as the more competitive, and considered a bellwether for the 2020 presidential election. The seat was held by Congressman Robert Pittenger since 2013, until Pittenger lost the primary in 2018 to pastor Mark Harris.

Harris then narrowly defeated McCready in the general election in 2018, by a margin of just over 900 votes. However, Democratic activists began accusing the Harris campaign, without evidence, of election fraud due to the close margin; the North Carolina State Board of Elections ultimately refused to certify the results, thus calling for a new election. Harris chose not to run again, and Bishop won the nomination. The 9th district remained without a representative during that time.

President Trump held a rally for Bishop the day before the election in Fayetteville, where he encouraged voters to support Bishop, while accusing McCready of “disloyalty” due to his support for “sanctuary cities.”
