WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.—Republican Ted Budd has defeated Democrat challenger Cheri Beasley in North Carolina’s Senate race, giving his party a pickup in their fight to secure a majority in the upper chamber.
“I want to thank President Donald J Trump, North Carolina’s own Lara Trump, and the entire Trump family for everything that they are doing to make our country great again,” the three-term congressman said during his victory speech at Winston-Salem, his birthplace.
