Bishop beat McCready only narrowly in North Carolina's 9th District, which President Trump won easily in 2016.
Republican Dan Bishop beats Democrat Dan McCready in North Carolina's 9th District special House election, NBC News projects.Dan Bishop, Republican candidate for North Carolina's 9th District, is interviewed by CQ Roll Call at Robin's On Main diner in Hope Mills, N.C., on Saturday, August 10, 2019.
In a tweet Tuesday night, Trump claimed Bishop was "down 17 points 3 weeks ago" before he "asked [the president] for help." Trump said they "changed [Bishop's] strategy together." He did not specify which polls he was citing in the tweet. Both publicly released internal campaign polls and nonpartisan surveys showed a close race leading up to Tuesday.
The controversy led the Board of Elections to schedule a new race, leaving the seat vacant since January. Harris announced he would not run in the new contest, paving the way for Bishop to win the nomination. The competitiveness of the race was evident in the nearly $14 million poured into it, as both parties fought to win a seat that could serve as a bellwether for the battleground state heading into the 2020 elections.
