  • The final count of votes in the race on Tuesday upheld Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs 's victory, reports Kyle Ingram.

The article from The Charlotte Observer discusses the ongoing debate over the expansion of Medicaid in North Carolina, which has been a contentious issue for years. Despite a bipartisan agreement in March to expand Medicaid, the expansion is contingent on the passage of a state budget, which has not yet been finalized.
