Jennifer Balkcom leveraged a Trump rally in Gastonia to energize her congressional bid, praising his border security and women’s sports policies while sidestepping direct attacks on her opponent—despite facing a $2M funding gap. Meanwhile, fellow GOP hopeful Laurie Buckhout seized the spotlight by slamming incumbent Don Davis as “Do Nothing Don,” using her military background to frame herself as a bold conservative alternative.
