Fedorchak Faces Balazs in North Dakota's 1-Seat GOP House Primary as Trump Won State by 36 Points

3 articles · Updated · The Washington Post · Jun 9

Summary

  • North Dakota Republicans are voting in a closely watched primary for the state's single at-large U.S. House seat, with incumbent Julie Fedorchak facing challenger Alex Balazs.
  • Trump's endorsement has boosted Fedorchak, and the primary carries unusual weight because Republicans dominate statewide federal races.
  • A 36-point Trump victory in North Dakota in 2024 has made the GOP nominee the clear favorite for the November general election.
  • That leaves Tuesday's contest as the race to watch in the state, effectively shaping who is most likely to claim the House seat.
