Sheriff Sam Page won over Sen. Phil Berger in the Senate District 26 GOP Primary in North Carolina, the most watched PRIMARY RACE in all of North Carolina. The race was over three weeks after the election, with both the winner and the winner's family. The North Carolina State Board of Elections will meet on Wednesday morning to certify the election results, making Page's victory official. Page shared his experience of receiving a surprising phone call from Berger, who had conceded the race and offered his support.

The winner's victory is set to be officially confirmed by the North Carolina state board of elections on Wednesday.
