primary election

Turnout in North Carolina’s Super Tuesday primary was down from 2020. Perhaps that’s due to no contested Democratic primary this year, as well as Donald Trump having essentially sewn up the Republican nomination in 2024. But Mecklenburg County stands out for its particularly lackluster showing for Democrats. Just under 19% of registered voters cast ballots here.

Trump-endorsed Addison McDowell came out ahead in the Republican primary for the 6th Congressional District. But he’s headed to a run-off with former Rep. Mark Walker.

Pat Harrigan has won a Republican congressional primary for the second time. This time he’ll likely head to Washington since the 10th Congressional District, now represented by Patrick McHenry, is heavily Republican.

North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore has won the Republican primary in the 14th Congressional District, which state lawmakers recently redrew to help launch him to Washington.

Nicole Sidman will face Tricia Cotham in the general election in November as Democrats seek to gain back a seat they lost when Cotham flipped to the Republican Party.

Ahead of today’s Super Tuesday primary, we asked locals along West Boulevard about whether those efforts are resonating there.
