Trump beat Hillary in 2016 by a margin of 60% to 36% in North Carolina’s 3rd congressional district, and last night Republican candidate Greg Murphy beat Democrat Allen Thomas by an even larger margin for the House seat in that district 3, which is the true indicator of Trump’s popularity in the state, because Republican Dan Bishop’s 51% to 49% victory in North Carolina’s district 9 should have an asterisk, that his opponent Dan McCready had been the victim of alleged cheating in the 2018 election redone last night (with a new opponent Bishop), thus McCready had the sympathy vote going for him, still lost.
