Phil Berger Lost [View all]

It's official: NC Republicans’ longest serving Senate leader just lost re-election.

Phil Berger lost his seat by 23 votes. If anyone ever feels like their vote doesn't matter, remind them that two dozen folks ousted one of the most powerful people in NC politics.

Haha. 🤭😃
