District will send such worrisome signals about the suburban vote to sitting members of congress that we re going to see another round of retirements. do you concur or should it not be viewed that harshly? it s possible. if you represent a district like davidson s just outside the district. but i ve been there a day or two a week. i ve seen the race fairly up close. i think steve s analysis is exactly right. the suburban swing wasn t quite big enough to offset the rural swing the other way. there was also some underperformance among minority voters for the democrat in the district. but at the end of the day the big picture, the forest as opposed to the trees, an 11 or 12-point margin for romney and for trump goes to a two-point margin for the trump-like candidate, the trump for whom trump came in this district. obviously you can t extrapolate exactly from that. mccready s a more moderate democrat than the democrats are likely to nominate nationally. trump is maybe a better candidat ....

Officials would not certify the results of this race when they ran it in 2018. that s after evidence surfaced of an illegal scheme by the campaign of mark harris, who ran as the republican the last time around. bottom line, a red district since the era of kennedy stays red. but we have steve kornacki to look at how it all went down at the big board. hey brian, it s a fascinating story. you mentioned dan bishop wins this district by two points, will now represent it in the house. this was in 2016 a trump district, a big trump district. the president won this thing by double digits in 2016. comes down to a two-point republican victory tonight. why was it close? why was the republican ultimately able to prevail? there were two different story lines that kind of converged in this district tonight. each of them i think is a microcosm of what we talk about nationally right now. one of the stories was right here in the suburbs. the circle might even be too ....
