I’m a North Carolinian, there is much more to this result than just Trump. Sen. Berger had approved a c***** in the area that really riled up residents. Page got a ton of support from Rockingham County because of it. There is also about a 20 year history between the two.

158

MiserableSlice1051 Mar 25, 2026 +74

Yup, this is really the answer. This also isn't some kind of MAGA vs Moderate situation, Page is just as MAGA as Berger is, maybe even more so.

land-league-inspo Mar 25, 2026 +13

Okay but with that said, shouldn’t the endorsement (maybe) have helped? If we think about this, an endorsement from the f****** president in a state election is pretty massive. Thinking about it some more, it’s 2026 and the world is on *fire* - so I get it. There are levels for sure, but I think it does go to show that his influence doesn’t really hold the dirty water it once did. In the past this would have been a sure win. If we have any reasons for hope, there’s another one right there. Bit by bit, people seem to be waking up.

BagOnuts Mar 25, 2026 +12

Meh. We’re talking about a local position in a primary election of the party in power during a midterm year. Those three things already drop turnout to the floor, so single issues by a couple hundred passionate voters can really make a huge difference; certainly more so than an endorsement from a lame duck president.

imanowlhoot Mar 25, 2026 +5

I also know of several left leaning independents who voted in the R primary specifically to vote Berger out

5

BagOnuts Mar 25, 2026 +2

NC does have semi-open primaries, so yes, independents can vote in opponents primaries in an effort to unseat someone, but that doesn’t really happen in an organized fashion. I don’t believe that this contributed as much to the upset proportionally to the c***** issue (as that type of “anti-voting” occurs in most primary elections anyway), but due to the very small number of total vote variance, you’re right: it could have made the difference here.

mediocre_remnants Mar 25, 2026 +4

> Okay but with that said, shouldn’t the endorsement (maybe) have helped? Not really. Both of these guys were already very well known in their area. People already had their opinions on them. The local population knows far more about these guys than Trump does. Trump probably wouldn't even recognize either of them in person and couldn't tell you a single thing about them. His endorsements are given to whoever flatters him the most.

17

wrosecrans Mar 25, 2026 +4

Or to put it slightly differently, the "waking up" will only happen as a _result_ of getting Trumpism out of power. As soon as Trump is a loser people will suddenly no longer see him as the Strong Father archetypes. Then they'll suddenly see all the problems with him and many will insist they never really supported him anyway.

True. I found the constant extention of the olive branch and naive (or orchestrated) belief that the current GOP behavior is a one off more and more pathetic each time. The way they've been tearing apart every ounce of stability, raped the law and weaponized it's traumatized remains, and want that to be the face of America forever is what they've always wanted and will continue doing. Any future resistance and efforts to recovery will not last if they're continually given the benefit of the doubt. Each instance of good will is seen by them and their rulers (various corporations, billionaire rapists, religious nutjobs, grifters of all shapes and sizes) as weaknes to be taken advantage of. Tolerating intolerance isn't going to suddenly become a winning strategy just because it gives a warm sense of superiority.

rollem Mar 25, 2026 +3

This is very important. If the GOP can get over the fear of being primaried for going against Trump, they will be able to act as a check against his abuses of power. I even believe that a few will vote to impeach after the midterms if his brand is seen as damaged enough, with approval ratings in the low 30s or high 20s probably being needed. Remember that he was the first president to have members of his own party vote to convict him in an impeachment trial, so it is absolutely plausible.

3

rollem Mar 25, 2026 +1

Actually maybe it’s not a great example, because it doesn’t have the inherently offensive part: stealing and remixing the work of others that it then passes of as its own. So it’s just a fun way to bet on randomness. It still lacks the drama and human element that makes sports more worthwhile, so I see it as somewhere in between.

TBF, Page is MAGA too.

In 2016, Page co-founded “Sheriffs for Trump.” In 2017, Page was one of several sheriffs to visit Trump at the White House and praise his agenda. In 2020, he helped lead the president’s reelection campaign in North Carolina. >When Trump called Page and offered the sheriff a job in Washington D.C., Page said he declined because he believed he could be “more effective” for Rockingham County residents in the state Senate.

If I remember correctly this is actually quite common. Trumps endorsement tends to be poison for a lot of campaigns. Basically unless it’s Trump himself on the ballot, people just do not care.

The problem is selective enforcement. It will not be a problem in deep red areas where it’s understood you’re voting for the establishment.

round-earth-theory Mar 25, 2026 +2

It won't be coordinated. It can't be coordinated without being exposed. There's thousands and thousands of polling locations run by the widest variety of people. Even deep red areas will have democrats running the polls. And don't forget a local tyrant loving the hell out of their ability to enact authority over others. The people who have time to run HOAs are the same people that have time to run polling stations.

2

TheOneFreeEngineer Mar 25, 2026 +6

No need to be coordinated. Conservative media has been priming the everyday conservative to inherently distrust anyone visibly liberal looking or left wing looking and minorities for decades, and to trust your ingroup and white christians. That social conditioning means even without coordination there can be widespread selective enforcement targeting almost exculsively non GOP voters. No coordination just widespread plain old bigotry and stereotyping. > There's thousands and thousands of polling locations run by the widest variety of people Yup but you dont need every polling place to be part of the selective enforcement to shift elections a couple points in the red direction.

A PR company that is paid by the party handles ny Facebook and they're signaling to the base." He then went on to tell a story about how he disagreed with the witch hunt after Kirk's death happened. He said he knew that it was going to cost the state money in lawsuits for unlawful termination and that it was hypocritical.

23 votes... Trump will call election officials asking them to find 24 votes for his candidate. He's done that before, otherwise it will be blamed on mail fraud.

Trump's candidate already conceded. It's in the article.

The article fails to point out that trump has sometimes endorsed 2 candidates in the same race.

I read on another post he got primaried and lost because he essentially gave away a bunch of land to a major developer who was also his biggest donor.

Are the Trumpsters becoming aware of the pillaging of the peasants?

This is sort of a nothing burger since Page is MAGA too. Just not personally endorsed by him. https://www.wral.com/news/nccapitol/berger-hand-recount-rockingham-county-nc-senate-district-23-vote-lead-march/ >For years, Page has been a vocal supporter of Trump and his stance on immigration. In 2016, Page co-founded “Sheriffs for Trump.” In 2017, Page was one of several sheriffs to visit Trump at the White House and praise his agenda. In 2020, he helped lead the president’s reelection campaign in North Carolina. >When Trump called Page and offered the sheriff a job in Washington D.C., Page said he declined because he believed he could be “more effective” for Rockingham County residents in the state Senate.

Bet if he were to lose to a democrat in November, no matter the margin and recounts, he'll scream rigged. Lol

Basically "who gives a f***" sensationalism during low-turnout special elections. This has completely burnt Democrats in major elections when the MAGAs actually come out to vote while the smarmy leftists do their little protest votes.

Really slim margian. Wouldn't be surprised if there's an automatic recount.

[There appear to have been both machine and hand recounts](https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/politics/elections/phil-berger-concedes-nc-senate-district-26-republican-primary-sam-page/83-5f774446-ee18-4019-89b3-bbd11d5d3ac4).

They already did a recount, and the guy who lost conceded. It's in the article.
