This US House district was once a political battleground. Now it shows why Congress is dysfunctional

RALEIGH, N.C.: In 2022, Democrat Wiley Nickel ran as a moderate and narrowly won North Carolina’s 13th Congressional District by about 9,000 votes. Two years later, the current congressman, Republican Brad Knott, ran as a conservative and coasted into the US House by more than 70,000 votes. Voters didn’t change their minds. Politicians changed their voters. The Republican-controlled legislature redrew the state’s congressional map to transform what was one of the last remaining swing districts in the South to a safe GOP seat. Lawmakers split the rectangular 13th District into an hourglass shape that carved out Democratic voters in Raleigh and replaced them with a swath of rural counties reaching up to the Virginia border. That decline accelerated over the past year after Republican President Donald Trump sparked a partisan redistricting battle. The number of swing districts fell from 45…

Expert: SDE waiting in the wings as disappointment with other parties mounts

The Social Democrats' recent rise in the polls may reflect voters growing disillusioned with their preferred parties, while Isamaa's declining support could be linked to a lack of fresh ideas, a political analyst says. Why have the Social Democrats gained ground? One important factor that has remained unchanged for many years is that the Social Democrats are the second choice for quite a few people. They have another favorite party, but the Social Democrats would be their next choice. Perhaps we are now in a situation where a large number of people no longer see their first choice as a good option. That could just as easily change again as we get closer to the elections. So is that first choice the liberal Reform Party, meaning the liberal Social Democratic Party is winning over its voters? Quite possibly. We do try to distinguish between parties based on which are liberal and which are…

‘I think they’re just letting it go’: As GOP lags, late momentum favors von Wilpert in the region’s biggest House race

In late September, Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson vowed in a social media video that his party would “defy the odds” in the San Diego region’s most competitive race. Standing beside Republican candidate and San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond, Johnson called the 48th Congressional District — split between San Diego and Riverside counties — “one of the most important races in all of America.” “On paper, this looks like a Democrat district, but we are going to defy history,” Johnson said. Now, with little more than a week before the election wraps up Nov. 3, Republicans will have to overcome a massive influx of Democratic spending to make that happen. The final sprint of the race comes amid a broader Republican retreat around the country contesting seats once considered competitive or even safe for their party, as Democrats look to capitalize on President Donald Trump’s…

Protest Planned for Erika Kirk’s Visit to Fayetteville Christian School

A local group is planning to protest Erika Kirk’s upcoming appearance at Fayetteville Christian School to raise awareness about her visit and the nearly $5 million in public funds the private school received in the last school year. The Fayetteville Resistance Coalition, which describes itself as a non-partisan organization “united in opposition to authoritarianism,” has scheduled a demonstration on Wednesday outside the school at 1422 Ireland Drive. Kirk, CEO and board chair of the conservative organization Turning Point USA, is expected to address junior high and high school students about civic engagement. According to an April 2026 report by Public Schools First NC, Fayetteville Christian School (FCS) received $2.01 million in Opportunity Scholarship payments during the 2023-24 school year, $3.68 million in 2024-25, and $4.27 million in 2025-26. This makes Fayetteville Christian…
