North Carolina Senate Primary Race Too Close to Call

In a dramatic North Carolina Senate primary, incumbent Phil Berger trails challenger Sam Page by just two votes, leading to a likely recount. Page, the Rockingham Sheriff, has declared victory but the count remains unofficial as ballots continue to be tallied. This closely watched race has drawn significant attention, including an endorsement from Trump, as it has the potential to shake up GOP power in the state. Voter turnouts and provisional ballots could influence the final outcome, with both candidates preparing for possible recounts as the election results remain too close to call.
