Democratic Rep. Valerie Foushee held on in her deep-blue North Carolina seat, surviving roughly $1 million in attack ads from a new group launched to oppose the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
Foushee beat Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam, a Bernie Sanders-backed progressive and the first Muslim woman to hold political office in the state, by a razor-thin margin in Tuesday's primary. Allam, who had previously indicated that she plans to call for a recount, conceded the race Wednesday evening.
