Dan Bishop (R), best known for writing North Carolina’s controversial “bathroom bill,” narrowly beat out Dan McCready (D) to win a House seat in the state’s 9th congressional district, according to Decision Desk HQ.
The election was a re-run of last year’s election after the result was thrown out due to election fraud.
With most votes counted, Bishop was ahead by about two percentage points. President Trump won the district by 12 points in 2016.
