Buckhout clinches NC GOP primary, eyes rematch in reshaped 1st District
Retired U.S. Army Colonel Laurie Buckhout won North Carolina's Republican primary in the 1st Congressional District, setting up a rematch with incumbent Democrat Don Davis. Redistricting made the district more conservative, boosting Buckhout's prospects in a costly November race contested across multiple counties, with heavy spending from Buckhout and outside groups.
