2 Republicans opposed by Trump win in Kentucky, N. Carolina[1][Posted on : 2020-06-24 by Jacob Marton] Voters rebuffed President Donald Trump and nominated two Republicans he opposed to House seats from North Carolina and Kentucky on Tuesday. Calls in higher-profile races in Kentucky and New York faced days of delay as swamped officials count mountains of mail-in ballots.
In western North Carolina, GOP voters picked 24-year-old investor Madison Cawthorn, who uses a wheelchair following an accident, over Trump-backed real estate agent Lynda Bennett. The runoff was for the seat vacated by GOP Rep. Mark Meadows, who resigned to become Trumps chief of staff and joined his new boss in backing Bennett.
Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, a libertarian-minded maverick who often clashes with GOP leaders, was renominated for a sixth House term. Trump savaged Massie in March as a "disaster for America" who should be ejected from the party after he forced lawmakers to return to Washington during a pandemic to vote on a huge economic relief package.

Each state, regardless of its size, has at least one congressman or congresswoman.
| Democrats win House in setback for Trump[3][Posted on : 2018-11-08 by Habib Ullah] A Democratic majority in the lower chamber for the first time in eight years will restrict his ability to steer his programme through Congress.
But Mr Trumps Republicans are set to strengthen their grip on the Senate.
Tuesdays vote was seen as a referendum on a polarising president, even though he is not up for re-election till 2020.
The election confirms a historical trend for the party that is not in the White House to make gains in the mid-terms.
