On Tuesday night the GOP swept the special election races in North Carolina.
Republican Greg Murphy won North Carolina’s 3rd Congressional District by over 20 points.
Republican Dan Bishop came from 15 points down to win North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District by 2 points.
What is even more remarkable is how big the wins were.
In district 9 Dan Bishop won Robeson County in the eastern part of the district.
According to J. Miles Coleman just last year the county went to the Democrat by 15 points.
On Tuesday Bishop nearly flipped the county. Democrat McCready only won the county by 1 point!
This should concern Democrats!
A key ingredient to Dan Bishop's (R) #NC09 win was Robeson County, in the eastern part of the district. This was an Obama -> Trump county that McCready won by 15% in 2018. It nearly flipped tonight, with the Lumbee Indian precincts (in the west) moving most heavily GOP. #ncpol pic.twitter.com/17Ci590wgk
