National Democratic and Republican leaders are breathlessly watching Tuesday's special election for an empty House seat from North Carolina for early clues about next year's presidential and congressional races. Democrat Dan McCready and Republican Dan Bishop are laboring to capture the attention
1 / 3Contested NC Election Campaign NotebookCampaign signs for Republican House candidate Dan Bishop and Democratic House candidate Dan McCready, are shown in in Waxhaw, NC, outside Charlotte, Saturday, Sept. 7, 2019. McCready faces Bishop in a special election for a vacant house seat Tuesday.
The seat is open after state officials vacated Republican Mark Harris' narrow November victory over McCready following charges of vote fraud by a GOP operative. McCready is a former Marine who started a company that's financed solar energy projects, Bishop an attorney and state senator who sponsored the state's restrictions on bathroom use by transgender people, which were later repealed.Sports matter in North Carolina.
Story continues"The only hindrance is the Panthers play today," Pastor Chris Justice said before things began. The Carolina Panthers opened their season Sunday afternoon 40 minutes away in Charlotte.
McCready doesn't want to appear too liberal and risk his chances among the district's moderate voters. He's not had any Democratic 2020 presidential hopefuls visit for him, has distanced himself from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and liberal lightning rod Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and has pulled some punches against Trump.
