North Carolina's most powerful Republican may be toppled in stunning upset

The leader of the North Carolina Senate, Phil Berger, widely seen as one of the most powerful Republicans in the state, may have just lost a tough challenge from Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page in what would be a stunning upset Tuesday night.

Paige took the lead in the shocking election by just two votes, and the results are almost certainly going to be challenged in court.

Berger ran the most powerful office in the state and had Trump's endorsement, millions in backing, and the entire Republican establishment behind him.
