21-Year-Old Wyatt Gable Wins GOP Primary in North Carolina, Defeating 10-Term Incumbent

Wyatt Gable's victory signals a shift towards youth and new ideas in the Republican Party, as voters express desire for change.

Wyatt Gable, a 21-year-old college junior, narrowly defeated 10-term incumbent Rep. George Cleveland in North Carolina's GOP primary.
Gable, a major supporter of Donald Trump and president of East Carolina's Turning Point USA chapter, aims to inject youthful energy into the Republican Party.
His campaign focused on education reform, the threat from China, and government spending, with plans to tackle these issues in the North Carolina General Assembly.
Gable's victory reflects a broader national conversation about the age of politicians and a desire among voters for fresh faces and new ideas.
He will face Democrat Carmen Spicer in the November general election, in a district where Donald Trump won three out of every five votes in 2020.
