Anderson ClaytonGUEST
Just excitement across North Carolina.
Anderson ClaytonGUEST
We saw Buncombe County alone jump 7% today from turnout yesterday in early voting, uh, a county that is gonna be critical in making sure that we flip a really competitive congressional seat with Jamie Agers' campaign this year for NC11.
Anderson ClaytonGUEST
And so I hope everybody in western North Carolina right now is making sure that they're getting out to vote for the amazing candidates that we've got up and down the ballot this year.
Anderson ClaytonGUEST
Because as you all know, North Carolina, we're gonna run this race like we're 10 points down the entire time, and we've gotta keep our foot on the gas.
Sean SpicerHOST
Okay.
Sean SpicerHOST
North Carolina's 11th District seat.
Sean SpicerHOST
Chuck Edwards, uh, is the incumbent.
Sean SpicerHOST
For a bunch of ethical reasons, he decided to step down.
Ed MartinHOST
And what's that district? Which is that? Who's in that district now?
Margo EdmondsGUEST
That's NC 11.
Margo EdmondsGUEST
That's Chuck Edwards district.
Margo EdmondsGUEST
He recently decided after after the primary not to continue for next year.
Morgan JacksonGUEST
Yeah.
Tim BoyumHOST
And to, to me, that's why I warn people about even NC11 and NC01, like, those could flip right back in '28.
Morgan JacksonGUEST
Listen, I say all the time-
Tim BoyumHOST
I- if the Democrats win this time-
Seth KeshelGUEST
I think that Zinke won the seat by seven points in Trump's victory in 2024.
Seth KeshelGUEST
And then you've got NC-11.
Seth KeshelGUEST
Edwards had to resign the seat, uh, due to misconduct.
Seth KeshelGUEST
That's a Trump plus nine, lower margin every single cycle.
Isaac BurkeGUEST
So the people in the very large eastern District 1 are going to be voting in that race.
Isaac BurkeGUEST
And then on the other side of the state, in the western part of the state, in the mountains, the congressional district 11 is also expected to be, uh, an, an interesting contest.
Isaac BurkeGUEST
Uh, Chuck Edwards dropped, dropped out of that race and Jennifer Balcombe from the state house is running on the Republican ticket.
Isaac BurkeGUEST
And, uh, that is, is also expected to be one of the congressional races in play.
Joseph BackholmHOST
Now with respect to that district 11 race, uh, Jennifer Balcombe has been one of our best friends in the state legislature, and she got promoted.
Joseph BackholmHOST
Is it a promotion to go to Congress? But yes, technically, right? She got promoted to Congress from the state legislature, but under unfortunate circumstances because Chuck Edwards resigned amid a cloud of allegations of some impropriety.
Joseph BackholmHOST
Do you think the Chuck Edwards ethics violations harm in any way Jennifer Baucom's campaign?
Sam FeistGUEST
But we wanna have a, a representative sample of as many events as we can by, by all of them, uh, by all the major candidates, and we wanna continue to hit these congressional races.
Sam FeistGUEST
I noticed on the Cook Political Report race ratings that, um, a, in western North Carolina, I think it's NC 11 is-
Amy WalterHOST
Good job.
Sam FeistGUEST
Right?
Sam FeistGUEST
Okay?
Amy WalterHOST
Yes.
Sam FeistGUEST
NC 11.
Amy WalterHOST
All right, Sam.
Bella GoodeHOST
Cook still rates this district likely Republican, and both national parties are now spending here, which tells you more than the official ratings do.
Bella GoodeHOST
North Carolina's 11th District has a newcomer issue.
Bella GoodeHOST
Republican Chuck Edwards withdrew from his race in August, three days after the House Ethics Committee found that he had created a hostile working environment for two young female staffers, though the committee found no evidence of a sexual relationship, an explicit proposition, or a quid pro quo.
Bella GoodeHOST
The House later censored him 413 to 2.
