- U.S. Republican Dan Bishop pulled slightly ahead of Democrat Dan McCready as results rolled in from a special congressional election in North Carolina, with both parties watching to see whether President Donald Trump’s Republican Party could keep its grip on a long-held seat.
The suburban-rural area in the southeastern part of the state has been represented by Republicans in Congress since the 1960s and voted for Trump by about 12 percentage points in 2016. A special congressional election was ordered after last year’s voting was tainted by fraud. The State Board of Elections took no action on that request, but later agreed to extend the voting for 25 minutes past the scheduled 7:30 p.m. EDT closing time in another precinct, in Mecklenburg County.

A new election was ordered, and Harris declined to run again.
