North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore's nomination marks big change in state's congressional delegation

North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore won the Republican nomination for Congress in the state's 14th District on Tuesday, starting what was expected to be a thorough shake-up of the U.S. House delegation.

The 14th is one of three congressional districts expected to flip from Democrats to Republicans in the November election after the state's Republican-controlled General Assembly redrew voting maps fashioned by judges for the 2022 elections.

The new maps seem likely to transform a delegation now comprising seven Democrats and seven Republicans to one with 10 Republicans and four Democrats.

The impeachment of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will likely take center stage in the runoff to decide who will be the Republican nominee for the 12th Congressional District.

Republicans Craig Goldman and John O'Shea were the top vote-getters in the March 5 GOP primary, according to unofficial election results. Neither was able to get 50% of the vote, forcing a May 28 runoff.

The district covers west Tarrant County and most of Parker County. This election marks the first open race for the seat since U.S. Rep. Kay Granger, R-Fort Worth, was initially elected in 1996. Granger is retiring after nearly three decades of service in Congress.

Goldman, a Fort Worth Republican in the Texas House, received 44.3% of the vote to O'Shea's 24.6%. So far, 97.62% of votes have been counted, according to the Associated Press.

WG Discussion Points: How Do Voters

Determine The State Of Inflation

The Biden campaign has an uphill climb to convince voters that inflation has significantly improved. Year-over-year inflation has moderated from its peak in 2022 but remains over 3%, with the cumulative rate of inflation since the President took office being close to 18%. The White House - and many in the media - continue to be frustrated that voters don't buy their arguments that inflation is significantly better. Despite what is coming from financial news and government sources, voters have their own method of determining how inflation is doing.

In the latest survey for Winning the Issues (February 24-25), we asked voters which mattered more in determining how inflation is doing. Only 13% of the electorate said they determine the state of inflation by the Consumer Price Index, official government statistics, and economic news, while the overwhelming majority - 82% - said they base their determination on the price of items they regularly buy, such as groceries or gas.
