This is one to watch. Obviously Trump and the GOP have an interest with Trump going to Fayatteville yesterday for a rally.

The makeup of the district which has some of the eastern suburbs of Charlotte and and is fairly rural. However it does have a significant Black presence. The democrat has declared he supports sanctuary cities. The district has been republican for over fifty years, but has undergoing a demographic shift.

Thanks for clarifying this. Most of us don't know just how important this election is.
But the big question is. Did the GOP slip in a RINO here? I really know nothing about the candidate.

I don't know if he is a RINO or not. He has been in the NC legislature for some time. NC has some weird districts and this is one. I find it quite unusual a district in NC would run from Charlotte out to Fayayettville. That is why the legislature is under court order to redistrict before the 2020 elections. Gerrymandering has been an art form in NC for many years by both parties.

The importance of this race is to cut off the democrats from making gains in the state.

Just watched Bishop being interviewed on OANN.  He is very vocal about being on the same track as POTUS.  He promises he will vote with him instead of against.  He seemed sincere.  Gonna keep an eye on election results tonight, that's for sure.

The courts ousted the redistricting plan that was created as a result of the Census. The courts did the gerrymandering and the 9th district is made for a Democrat. It stretches from Southern Charlotte all the way to Fayettville to include the counties with some of the lowest avg household income in NC.
