In the 9th Congressional District Republican Dan Bishop is in a competitive race to keep that area of the Old North State out of Nancy Pelosi’s hands, and he’s getting some help before election day. Vice President Mike Pence has already headlined two fundraisers for Bishop, and now the Second Lady Karen Pence has been gracious enough aid a Republican win in North Carolina.
