The race between incumbent Rep. Valerie Foushee and progressive challenger Nida Allam was too close to call on election night. The unofficial results showed Foushe leading with 49.18% of the votes, a margin of 1,202 votes, and Allam with 2.60%. The race was seen as a crucial test of voter satisfaction with the Republican Party under President Trump, particularly on immigration enforcement, support for Israel, and corporate power. Foushey received endorsements from prominent political figures such as U.S. Senate candidate Roy Cooper, Gov. Josh Stein, and the Democratic leadership in Congress. Allam is an outspoken critic of Israel and has served as a county commissioner since 2020.
