Davis wins a closely contested race against Republican Laurie Buckhout in a district reshaped by GOP-led redistricting.

Don Davis, an Air Force veteran and incumbent Democrat, defeated Republican challenger Laurie Buckhout in North Carolina's 1st Congressional District.
The race was highly competitive due to recent redistricting that favored Republicans, making the historically Democratic district a key battleground.
Davis won with 49.5% of the vote compared to Buckhout's 47.9%, with nearly all votes counted.
