On Monday President Donald Trump rallied Bishop supporters in Fayetteville and Vice President Mike Pence crossed the district stumping for Bishop. Pence also appeared on WBT radio Tuesday morning for a final plug.
Shortly after 10 p.m., Bishop appeared at W.F. Harris Lighting near Monroe Executive Airport to a standing ovation and fireworks, embraced by his wife and son. He thanked his family, campaign staff and supporters.
“Tonight is a victory shared by all who believe in the promise of America; in the promise of American exceptionalism and the promise of freedom and opportunity,” he said, then quoted President Ronald Reagan to say those freedoms are not guaranteed.
