An Upset Brewing in the 5th CD?

  


The Cook Political Report has moved NC-05 from Solid Republican to Likely Republican.

  • The district's Cook Partisan Voting Index is R+9.

  • Virginia Foxx won her last general election with 59.5%.

  • Democrat Chuck Hubbard has raised approximately $863,000, according to the October 14 FEC reporting.

  • Foxx had raised approximately $2.19 million by that reporting date.

Cook's rating categories mean:

  • Solid Republican: Not considered competitive.

  • Likely Republican: Still a clear Republican advantage, but an upset is possible.
