U.S. Rep. Robert Pittenger has misplaced a Republican major for his seat in North Carolina to the Rev. Mark Harris, a Baptist pastor he solely narrowly beat two years in the past.
Both Pittinger and Harris campaigned as evangelical Christians who would outdo the opposite to help President Donald Trump, who didn't endorse both candidate.
Harris received Tuesday amongst GOP voters and now should tackle Democrat Dan McCready, a Marine veteran who has raised virtually $2 million to compete within the ninth district, the place Trump's victory was narrower than elsewhere in North Carolina.
The district stretches from Charlotte via poorer areas near Fort Bragg.
