VERY few people had NC's 6th District as a seat that could flip towards Dems.
But High Point Mayor Cyril Jefferson beat freshman (R) Rep. Addison McDowell, who didn't even have a Dem opponent in 24'.
I spoke with Jefferson.

"Their tired of parties, their tired of partisanship."
Democrat Paul Barringer is on track to defeat (R) Rep. Brad Knott in a significant upset in NC.
Barringer is a former Republican who ran as a moderate Dem. He is a healthcare consultant.
(race hasn't officially been called by AP but Knott has conceded)

"I vote strictly Republican except for Roy Cooper."
"100% I voted for Trump and I'm not sorry...I don't know if I would have done it again."
A few quotes from my recent trip through NC talking to voters. With a day before the polls close give it a watch:

📍Dodge City, Kansas
In September, this majority-Hispanic farming community was shaken by a federal ICE operation.
There were protests, businesses temporarily closed, people stopped going to work, children were absent from school.
Now, there is bipartisan acknowledgment that a central aspect of President Trump's policy agenda maybe went overboard...and is now motivating people to turn out and vote in the state's surprisingly close U.S. Senate race between Senator Roger Marshall and Adam Hamilton.
"I know that that was an insane turning point," a Democratic community organizer told us.
“It’s not even reasonable to think we’re gonna round them all up and send them out of this country because some of them don’t even have another country that they know," a prominent Republican farmer and business owner said.
When did Kansas last elect a Democrat to the Senate?
1932.

A board tasked with releasing documents from decades-old Civil Rights cold cases will shut down in weeks unless Congress acts.
I traveled to NC where documents have shed light on the mysterious deaths of two Black WWII veterans.

The shuttered San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station along the southern California coast still houses 3.6 million pounds of spent nuclear fuel - a concern for the surrounding community for decades.
@RepMikeLevin tells me he feels confident that the federal government is making real progress towards a long-term solution to store nuclear waste in a more stable environment, and eventually move the radioactive materials out of SONGS. The Department of Energy agrees.

From NYC to LA, Spectrum News mailed 213 letters to local addresses. 89 took longer than two business days to be delivered, a 41.7% failure rate. Several took a week or more ... The timeliness of mail delivery has implications for the upcoming election

Asked by my colleague @ekoslof if payments to Camp Lejeune toxic water victims will be dependent on midterm results, Trump says if Republicans lose it makes it hard -- "maybe they won't get their money."
---
Fact-Check:
Who controls Congress doesn't impact payments for Camp Lejeune toxic water victims.
Congress already passed legislation in 2022 letting victims seek compensation from the federal govt.
The claims are with the federal Navy and DOJ, not Congress.
My report from yesterday: spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/cha…
Snail Mail - Spectrum News tested the U.S. Postal Service’s ability to meet its own standards for delivering local mail.
More than 40% of the hundreds of letters sent to local addresses in the investigation were delivered late.

Watch: Thom Tillis is out with a new book today, weeks before he leaves the Senate.
He rips into the Trump Administration, expresses regret and at times criticizes the president in the profanity-laded book.
