Ellmers Loses GOP Primary

Rep. George Holding (R-NC) “defeated a fellow incumbent — and a Donald Trump ally — in one of the most-watched congressional primaries in the nation,” the Raleigh News & Observer reports.

“Rep. Renee Ellmers’ (R-NC) defeat in the GOP contest marks a major fall for a politician who was once a television political show staple and who worked to recruit Republican women to run for office. Holding presented himself as more conservative than Ellmers.”
