Flips, twists and turns: Here are 5 of NC's biggest Election Day surprises

After a long night of ballot-counting, preliminary midterm election results are in — some of which surprised North Carolinians and seasoned incumbents. Tuesday’s election was monumental for Democrats both in the state and nationwide. The party secured the North Carolina House of Representatives and inched close to control of the state Senate. Across the country, Democrats took control of both congressional chambers with some help from North Carolinians, who flipped a longstanding Republican U.S. Senate seat and at least five U.S. House seats to blue. Here were the biggest surprises on Election Day. Virginia Foxx losing, with race hinging on recount Democrats flipped a U.S. House seat that Republicans have held since the 1990s — mostly with Rep. Virginia Foxx, who has served in the seat for two decades. Foxx, 83, is losing to Democrat Chuck Hubbard in the race to represent North Carolina’s 5th Congressional District. Foxx is within a narrow enough margin to call for a recount, The News & Observer previously reported . Foxx this term served as the chair of the House Rules Committee. She campaigned on increasing religious freedom, supporting President Donald Trump’s military efforts and making healthcare more affordable. The Cook Political Report did

NC's e-bike law changes Dec. 1. How western Wake towns are responding

Apex is moving toward new e-bike rules that could expand helmet requirements for younger riders and clarify where electric bicycles can travel. The proposed changes come as a new North Carolina law takes effect Dec. 1, changing which e-bikes are permitted on roads and greenways. The new law also will require helmets for Class 3 e-bike riders and passengers under 18. Towns can also require helmets for riders and passengers under 18 on Class 1 and 2 e-bikes, but the new law does not mandate those additional requirements statewide. A separate, existing state law already requires bicycle helmets for anyone under 16. Apex’s Public Safety Committee on Thursday, Nov. 5, backed limited amendments to existing bicycle regulations, rather than a comprehensive e-bike ordinance. “Making huge regulatory changes at this stage may be the wrong thing. We may be over-regulating,” council member Ed Gray told The News & Observer after the meeting. But Gray also supports a uniform helmet requirement for younger riders, saying it would be easier to understand and enforce. The Town Council must approve any amendments, which it could do as soon as Dec. 17. The new rules Under the new state law, Class 1 bikes provide motor

The CDC considers these superbugs showing up in NC as urgent threats.

The Center for Disease Control released its yearly Antimicrobial Threats Report in October, detailing illnesses that are becoming resistant to treatment. It listed four drug-resistant illnesses as urgent public health threats, including several found in North Carolina. Candida auris, Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter and Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales are urgent public health threats recorded in North Carolina this year. Drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae is also considered an urgent threat by the CDC. Illnesses listed in the Antimicrobial Threats Report are evolving to be harder to treat with antimicrobial medicines, including antibiotics. Some other illnesses are considered serious, concerning or placed on a watchlist due to antimicrobial resistance. Serious threats include drug-resistant Shigella , a diarrheal infection that can be spread through sexual contact or by food and water. North Carolina has seen two cases of sexually transmitted Shigella in 2026. The CDC also labeled drug-resistant Neisseria meningitidis a serious threat for the first time in 2026. Antimicrobial resistance in North Carolina Candida auris , a fungal infection, has faced a national uptick in 2026, including in North Carolina. It is primarily spread at healthcare facilities.
