There were seven statewide races: the U.S. Senate and six judicial races, with two of those races being in the North Carolina Supreme Court, both won by Republicans.
“North Carolina Republicans swept all seven of the statewide races,” Andy Jackson, director of the Civitas Center for Public Integrity at the John Locke Foundation—an independent research institute in North Carolina that examines issues of freedom, personal responsibility, and limited constitutional government—told The Epoch Times.
The primary Republican victory for North Carolina Republicans was Trump-endorsed Republican Ted Budd, who beat former Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court Cheri Beasley for the Senate seat formerly occupied by Richard Burr, who didn’t seek reelection.
Budd was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives who signed an amicus brief in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania, which was a lawsuit filed in the U.S. Supreme Court contesting the 2020 presidential election.
Republicans won every statewide judicial race, and they will have a 5–2 majority in the next session of the North Carolina Supreme Court, while expanding their current majority in the North Carolina Court of Appeals judges.
Republicans also flipped a half-dozen local sheriff races from Democrat to Republican, Jackson said.
He's wonderful.
We need more people like him.
So happy to count him as my Lt Gov.
Wish he were Gov.
We will work together to make that wish come true pede!
Indeed. I want to get involved in his campaign. He's one of the few candidates in my lifetime I've truly believed in.
