The Rev. Mark Harris has secured the Republican nomination for a U.S. House seat in North Carolina, marking his second attempt to head to Washington following a 2018 absentee ballot scandal. Harris narrowly surpassed the 30% threshold to avoid a potential runoff in the six-candidate race in the state's 8th District, edging out political newcomer Allan Baucom.
Harris is set to face Democrat Justin Dues in the upcoming November election in a district that heavily favors Republicans, stretching from Charlotte to Lumberton in the eastern part of the state.
