Laurie Buckhout won the Republican primary in North Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, setting up a rematch against Democratic Rep. Don Davis in November. Davis faces a challenging reelection in a district that has shifted further right due to recent gerrymandering. He narrowly defeated Buckhout in the 2024 election, and state Republicans have since approved another redrawn map. Buckhout, a retired Army colonel, had a slight lead in early polling against her primary challengers.
