Democratic Rep. Don Davis has won re-election in a key North Carolina House district, defeating Republican challenger Laurie Buckhout. This district was a major target for Republicans after redistricting made it more conservative, shifting from a district President Biden won by seven points in 2020 to one he won by just 1.7 points. Buckhout's campaign focused on immigration and linking Davis to Biden's policies, while Davis countered by highlighting his record and associating Buckhout with controversial Republican figures.
