13th Congressional District

North Carolina has five new members of Congress as the new session started Friday. They were sworn in after Mike Johnson was reelected as Speaker.

Former President Donald Trump backed Knott in early April. Weeks later, Daughtry suspended her campaign, but it was too late to remove her name from the ballot. Knott now takes on Democrat Frank Pierce in November.

Republican congressional candidate Kelly Daughtry says she's suspending her campaign just days ahead of this month's primary runoff and endorsing opponent Brad Knott.

Former federal prosecutor Brad Knott hasn't run for office before, and few people in political circles had heard of him. He's one of at least 11 Republicans running in the 13th Congressional District, where Democrat Wiley Nickel isn't seeking re-election.

The only elected Republican from North Carolina’s largest county in the state legislature is running for Congress next year for a seat currently held by a Democrat who narrowly won in 2022.

The newly redrawn 13th District was considered one of the most competitive in the state.

In the fast-growing suburbs of Raleigh, North Carolina, the 13th District has emerged as one of the nation’s battlegrounds for congressional control, where a tight race between former President Donald Trump’s favored young upstart and a Democratic state senator could determine the balance of power in the narrowly split U.S. House.

Madison Cawthorn's tactics have upended GOP politics in North Carolina.
