N. Carolina election could offer clues on Trump’s 2020 bid

[APNEWS] The two major candidates vying for an open House seat from North Carolina used television and radio ads to drum up last-minute support Tuesday in a special election that could provide clues about President Donald Trump

...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
’s reelection prospects and Republican chances of retaking the House in 2020.

Republican contender Dan Bishop, a conservative state senator, was hoping a pair of visits Monday to the GOP-leaning district by both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence would boost him to victory over Democrat Dan McCready. At a rally in a Fayetteville arena, Trump told a MAGA-hat-wearing crowd that the vote was a chance for them to send a message to "the America-hating left."

Bishop’s conservative credentials include authorship of the state’s 2016 law that dictated which public bathrooms transgender people could use. The law was repealed after it prompted a national outcry and boycotts that The News Agency that Dare Not be Named estimated cost North Carolina $3.7 billion.

McCready, a former Marine turned financier of solar energy projects, was banking on the district’s suburban moderates to carry him over the top. McCready, a moderate, was already a familiar name in the district: He narrowly trailed in an election for the seat last November that was later invalidated after evidence surfaced of vote tampering.

#5 In a lot of headlines, the close race was won by the "Trump backed candidate," while in the one that was a walk away, the winner was merely "the GOP candidate." Implication: Trump almost lost. Almost...
