The last U.S. House contest of 2018 and the first congressional test ahead of 2020 sits in North Carolina, where a re-do election in the state's 9th Congressional District is teeing up a tough battle between Republicans, who are defending a district that President Donald Trump carried by 12 points
in 2016, and Democrats hope will extend their 2018 rout by one.
The race, the first congressional election to be redone since 1974, is in a district that borders South Carolina and currently extends from Charlotte's suburbs to more rural areas east of the city after being redrawn in 2016 -- representative of the exact areas Trump needs to win to secure his reelection.
— Donald J. Trump August 22, 2019 If Bishop edges out a win, the contest could provide a battle-tested pathway for GOP candidates seeking to win back those seats currently held by Democrats in Trump-won districts. The contest has seen more outside spending than any other race so far this year, except for the presidential election. With just a couple of weeks to go before the special election, at least $6 million of outside money has been either spent or secured by outside party committees, super PACs and politically active nonprofits, more than two-thirds of which is coming from the pro-Bishop side.
In one of its most recent attacks against McCready, the National Republican Congressional Committee also accused the Democrat of getting help from a new Democratic leadership-linked big-money group called House Majority Forward, which dropped half a million dollars on an ad campaign to support McCready just this week. Established as a 501 nonprofit, the group has yet to disclose its source of funding.

Getting Ready with Claudia Schiffer For the Balmain Spring 2018 Fashion ShowAs a self-professed denim enthusiast, Claudia Schiffer opts for a casual look to wear to the front row of what is perhaps Paris Fashion Week's glitziest runway shows. After working as a model in the industry for three decades, Schiffer knows a thing or two about getting ready for a big event. So much so, that this year, along with launching her new tome with Rizzoli, the supermodel has launched her very own make up collection. 'When I was 14, my mother gave me a pot of cream and explained that from now on, I was to moisturize - who could argue with such sensible advice?' See Schiffer's full prep for the Balmain Spring 2018 show, here.
