NC Senate Leader Concedes Primary After 23-Vote Loss
Despite receiving President Trump’s endorsement, the Republican top official in the North Carolina Senate, Phil Berger, conceded to challenger Sam Page after a recount in a tightly contested primary race. Berger, who has led the state Senate for 15 years, congratulated Page on his victory. The close race saw Page ultimately win by 23 votes, leading Berger to acknowledge the voters’ decision. Page is now set to face Democratic candidate Steve Luking in the November general election.
