GOP voters rally around businesswoman as they try to flip crucial House seat red
Developing
In Short: Businesswoman Lily Tang Williams emerged victorious in New Hampshire's 2nd Congressional District primary, aiming to flip a traditionally red seat.
Businesswoman Lily Tang Williams secured the Republican nomination in New Hampshire's 2nd Congressional District primary, defeating three other candidates vying to flip a district that spans the entire western part of the state.
The primary victory comes as the Missouri Supreme Court suspended a GOP-drawn congressional map that would have given the Republicans an additional House seat, likely keeping the seat in Democratic hands this November.
The court's decision, which also gutted the Voting Rights Act and struck down Democrats' voter-approved gerrymander in Virginia, has created an unprecedented electoral landscape for Missouri voters and administrators.
Despite the court's ruling, the new lines will only take effect if approved by voters in the November 2026 general election, according to Missouri's Supreme Court Judge Ginger K.
