NC GOP candidate Kelly Daughtry suspends campaign.

North Carolina GOP congressional candidate Kelly Daughtry has suspended her campaign for the central North Carolina district, citing Donald Trump's endorsement of her rival Brad Knott in the upcoming May 14 runoff. Daughtry, who finished first in the initial primary but failed to achieve the 30% needed to avoid a runoff, now endorses Knott and calls for voters to support him. The announcement ensures that Knott will likely be elected in November's contest against Democratic candidate Frank Pierce, with the 13th district being redrawn by Republican state legislators last year to ensure a GOP victory.
