Rep. Patrick McHenry

Five new members of Congress will likely be chosen in the Republican primary, since the districts make it nearly impossible for a Democrat to win in them in November.

North Carolina Congressman Patrick McHenry's announcement that he won't seek re-election is shaking up the state's congressional primaries. Several Republicans are now looking at switching races to run for his seat.

McHenry's decision not to seek reelection is surprising, since in late October he announced he would run for another two-year term. McHenry didn't explain the reversal Tuesday, saying just that “I believe there is a season for everything and — for me — this season has come to an end.”

McHenry is in his 10th term in Congress. McHenry had worked to help McCarthy win the speaker’s contest in January and negotiate the debt limit deal that McCarthy made with President Joe Biden.

The rule is part of the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement, which Congress approved almost 20 years ago.

On Tuesday, Republican Congressman Patrick McHenry (NC-10) expressed his support for the arrest of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried.

Patrick McHenry — whose district includes Statesville, Hickory, and Lincolnton — is the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee.
