Few races are as convoluted as the one in North Carolina’s Ninth Congressional District, which is — 10 months after Election Day 2018 — the last vote of the midterm elections. Experts see the race between State Senator Dan Bishop, a Republican, and the entrepreneur Dan McCready, a Democrat, as a test of President Trump’s clout in suburban areas.

It would appear President Trump’s clout in suburban areas remains strong. A month ago, according to the polls, Bishop was 17 points down. An eighteen-point turnaround in response to Trump’s campaigning is impressive.
