Chuck Hubbard leads Virginia Foxx by about 335 votes as counts wrap up in NC
The count is now over in #NC03 & #NC05. Dems Chuck Hubbard and Raymond Smith finish ahead of GOP incumbents Virginia Foxx and Greg Murphy... by 284 votes & 325 votes, respectively. If these hold in a recount, Democrats will have won 11 of North Carolina's 14 congressional seats.
Rob Cerulo240From a 10R-4D gerrymander to an 11D-3R electorate. North Carolinians are the big winner of midterms!
🖇️ Jane Doe107Bye Bye Virginia Foxx. Her loss is especially sweet.
Knox53I effing DESPISE Virginia Foxx!!!! Oh maaaaaaaaan, I want this victory to laaaaaaaaaast! She is... a despicable human being.
BygoneBegotRisk42I think the 10-year-old who famously wrote Foxx that letter should write her another one right about now saying 🖕
gacyclist.bsky.social42proving that EVERY vote counts
Who Cares24Looking like 261 House seats for @democrats.org, assuming a few leads hold up to recounts. Bet you could have cashed in some seriously long odds wagering on that number a week ago.

Gayer Than Thou 🏳️🌈10Making offerings to the goddesses for successful recounts.
ainsley10#ncpoli The last time a Dem won the 3rd was 1992. No Dem this century, until Smith, has even hit 40% of the vote, and it's been a major struggle most cycles to even get someone to run.
Tim Ellis, Etobicoke-Lakeshore & Centre 🍁7Omg please please please please see Foxx off
Lee-uh is thanking you5I didn't even hope for murphy losing 🥹
Greg Jarrell4NCGOP drew a 10R-4D map And got an 11D-3R map.
ncdee.bsky.social4NC Republicans have spent the last six years drawing up districts that were "reliably red", becoming even bolder two years ago. You have no idea how glorious this feels!
Michael Crawford4Yall. Again, I cannot emphasize enough what a joy and near-miracle it is to see Foxx chased out of office.
James S. Murphy2Virginia Foxx's loss presents the opportunity to massively improve our ability to understand the impact of higher education on social mobility and more. Let's get the College Transparency Act to a vote in 2027.
WRMS Traffic & Weather Reporter on the 2’s2Going to run up some Little Brother tomorrow.
Most people will be thrilled that Virginia Foxx is losing her seat, but Tim Moore was an outspoken and especially assholish Young Republican leader when I was at UNC so I'm excited to see that one too
Erik Lars Myers22I am honestly having a difficult time deciding which one I'm more happy about. We got rid of Tim Moore AND Phil Berger this year and the two of them are architects of so much damn misery in our state. But Virginia Foxx happily translates all of that federally.
Doug Dawson21Moore has such a great story - loses the gerrymandered district he gifted himself as he left the state legislature.
Josh Busby11I remember Moore as well and ran a slate of enviros to try to rebalance student government just to oppose him. Amazing to think 30 years later he’s just elevated his s—t to the next level.
David Wilson Brown9In my county of Gaston, where I’m Dem Party chair, we got 13k votes more than in 2022. That’s about double our fantastic LaKesha Womack’s vote difference total 💪
dboaeuf.bsky.social9Well, as a constituent of Foxx, I am ecstatic that she was ousted, but I'm very happy that Moore and Burger (primary) were toppled for their lifetime records of assholery in the General Assembly
Flannel Shirt LCSW7I think it’d be smart for some of these states to cut fresh tourism ads based on these flips. I know I’m not alone in having avoided trumpy travels.
BREAKING: Republican incumbents Greg Murphy, Virginia Foxx, Addison McDowell, Richard Hudson, Brad Knott, Tim Moore and open seat of Chuck Edwards will go to Dems if results hold, taking a 10-4 GOP majority within NC's congressional delegation to an 11-3 DEM majority. #ncpol
Pastrami on Rye26Foxx and Murphy lost. Couldn't have happened to worse people. Good riddance.
Mark Damian Sullivan12Holy shit. Buh bye Virginia Foxx! I hope the door hits you in the ass and breaks a hip.
Wayne Fryback12Ummm... has that ever happened before, anywhere??
JRedFive8She was briefly 38 votes or so up. AP currently shows Hubbard up 325
mmo-better.bsky.social7Grew up in her district. Foxx was as awful a Rep as she is a terrible person.
Jiraffe3As someone who grew up and went to college in NC: holy shit.
Stephen Wolf1019Amazing: North Carolina’s new 11-3 Republican congressional gerrymander backfired and will likely go 11-3 Democratic instead. A nonpartisan map likely would have gone just 9-5 Democratic—the GOP’s map cost them 2 seats in comparison. They were <2 points away from losing their other 3 seats too!
Jerad Walker601Next to the Mississippi Senate race, this might be the biggest shock of the midterms. An absolute Republican bloodbath on a map that was gerrymandered to the hilt.
Quinn Yeargain44unbelievable from start to finish, and Foxx's defeat is so, so good
Professa Murray30As a former Durham native, this makes me, so happy.
Dominique Baker27AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! 🚨 ED POLICY ALERT 🚨
Vituperative Erb21L, wait for it, OL
Truekook⁷ ⊙⊝⊜12Please let all that gerrymandering come back to bite ALL their asses!
Rob Taber4Also impressive: Kimberly Hardy, who got more votes than any of these Republican candidates and is only behind David Rouzer by .74% Ashley Bell, who took on Pat Harrigan in an even bigger longshot and is behind by .84% Very, very close to 13-1. And two points away from being 14-0.
Christina Reynolds3Carolina Blue has always been my favorite color.
PictureTheSouth3Okay - THIS is the kind of early Christmas celebrating I can get behind! #NCpol
I was not aware that this election, smashing as it was, could be the end of the long reign of Virginia Foxx.
Tom Wambsgans’ Second Wife, PhD6This one was particularly exciting!
EARNED MY SPURS & UNABLE TO CURB MY CUSSING 🐎2I definitely won't miss the nasty old bag
slr921.bsky.social2Thank god. Foxx is a horrible person.
Mighty Apollo1It’s like you finish the last of the leftover Halloween candy, briefly wish for one more flavored Tootsie Roll, and suddenly remember you have a whole extra bag.😂
delfin1She will return to her previous gig of screaming YOUUUU SHALL NEVER REACH THE NECRONOMICON at Bruce Campbell
LE Murphy1There have been so many wins not on anyone's BINGO card.
Based on the updated numbers and the video that just finished streaming in this thread, pending a recount, it looks like Virginia Foxx is going home and Chuck Hubbard won #NC05 by 335 votes.
Courtney Milan193And as Solomon reminds us.
clownpenis.fartlow10Virginia Foxx is useless to her constituents and an absolutely vile person. I am so grateful to everyone who came out to vote - not always easy in NC, if you live in the wrong places - to kick her toxic ass out.
Claudia Calhoon1My hometown! Always good to see them doing something good.
let this serve as a reminder that every vote really does matter (also a heartfelt BITCH BYE to virginia foxx)
A truly horrible representative; the rules committee will not miss her
Tom Tell3I'll always remember her for this. Also, note some other presently unemployed GOP colleagues next to her. 😄 youtu.be/Yd11rSn3K5A?...
WW Jim2She’s such a foul human being. I’m not sure how anyone could vote for but then again 2 million people voted for Ramaswamy in Ohio.
zachsback.bsky.social1Virginia is a horrid heinous piece of work that this country will be far better off without her. Buh bye!
My Chemical Imbalance1I hope that 10 year old she negged has a beautiful week
More votes will be counted today in North Carolina’s 5th Congressional District. Democrat Chuck Hubbard is still leading incumbent House Republican Virginia Foxx by 99 votes and expects his lead to grow: “We expect to win this race.” Let’s go, Chuck!
uncertainshade.bsky.social4Rooting for Chuck from NC-11. Virginia Foxx is the WORST
Eggs and Rights2Seeing Virginia Foxx get defeated would be the blue ribbon on the package! Lets GO HUBBARD!
くまのプーさん • 🦋 •📎•🗽1Who's afraid of Virginia Foxx?
Todders1I sure hope she’s out. Term limits
Amanda Tornabene1Dang, I thought this race was called already for him… that woman is horrible.
Counting is still going on in several Midterms races and they’re all super-tight. In NC-03 Democrat Raymond Smith is ahead of Republican Rep Greg Murphy by 301 votes. In NC-05 Democrat Chuck Hubbard has a 305-vote margin over GOP Rep Virginia Foxx.
Four Legs Good8I really, really, really want Fox to lose. She’s beyond awful.
670rv7That NC-03 if it holds DEMS get to 260!
DTwyman6Never let it be said that your vote doesn’t count. This is also what makes me so angry at people who say things like there is no difference or I’m too busy to vote.
John who likes democracy 🚫🤴 🐸6I sure hope Virginia is sent to retirement.
Dawny B 🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼4Hopefully the results will be in by the next election.
Guy Baddis2FYI: technically, most races are still counting. (provisional ballots, etc.) But coverage focuses on the races where enough ballots are outstanding to potentially flip the result.
Oh hooray. Especially NC-05. Hubbard is great. Virginia Foxx is... let us dare hope, gone.
Ken Lewis4This is what happens when you don't support your voters when a hurricane wipes out a large chunk of the state..
*it* is happening here3She is such a nasty old bat. Godspeed
Jennifer Van Goethem3She can spend more time fighting with her neighbors back home.
Jeremy J. Sharp1Looking very much like there'll be recounts in five districts where Dems are currently leading (the 2 in NC, one each in CO, MN and TN). It'd be nice if they somehow all hold and Dems can get to 260.
This is crazy. A full week later. Four votes apart.
Mike Rhone6The way I need her to lose…
ginya1.bsky.social2Gotta wait until Guilford County comes in. 75,000 votes Hubbard has received in Guilford *alone* are more than half of all votes Foxx received in all counties combined. Provisionals there haven't been counted & Guilford was prioritized for curing. (48 votes obvs earlier info.)
Fizz LeStun2This is why I don't want to celebrate Boebert yet.
Toni1That Lady is 83 ys old! Who voted for her?
Pithy & Civil 🇺🇦🏳️🌈🎞️💙1So many recounts to hold in these tight races. We won't know for weeks.
Stephanie1Don’t ever let anyone tell you your vote doesn’t matter.
All provisional votes are in and she is history! Chuck Hubbard’s Election Day lead of 99 votes has now increased to 335 votes. Woo hoo!
AnneA24And even better, NC’s congressional delegation has now flipped from 10R-4D to 11D-3R. 💙🌊💙🌊
Baja Arizona. We did it!!3She'll never die because the devil doesn't want her.
Shore Bird3Excellent! I googled her age and found she looks 10 years older than she is. Hate will do that to you.
julieputney77.bsky.social2She was Gen. Lee's nanny!
David2Wait, is this legit? I was just reading that she'd picked up a 33 vote lead.
rick1Here’s hoping the NC DEMs redistrict as well now, both federal and state districts.
DOUBLE lead change in North Carolina. #NC03 Raymond Smith (D) now leads GOP Rep. Greg Murphy by 301 votes. #NC05 And Chuck Hubbard (D) is back ahead of GOP Rep. Virginia Foxx by 325 votes. (He was ahead as of this morning, but Foxx briefly led this afternoon.)
Rex1In the aftermath of Helene, Foxx had, on her property, the only intact bridge for miles, and she refused to let people use it to bring food,water, and fuel into their communities. Here's hoping she gets booted right the fuck back to Hell.
