The Hill reported that Democrat Richard Ojeda is projected to defeat Republican Rep. Richard Hudson in the race for North Carolina's 9th Congressional District, according to preliminary results from Decision Desk HQ. Hudson is chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).

The Hill's summary says that Hudson's role as NRCC chair meant he was tasked with helping protect vulnerable House Republicans. The summary cuts off mid-sentence, so the rest of that description is not available for this story.

Politico reported that Hudson conceded his race for reelection in North Carolina. The headline of that report uses the words "concedes his race for reelection" and does not name the winner. The summary for the Politico report is empty, so no further details from that article are available here.

The two reports describe the outcome in different terms. The Hill's headline describes Ojeda as defeating Hudson, while its summary says Ojeda is projected to win based on preliminary results. Politico's headline describes a concession by Hudson. Neither report, as summarized here, includes a final vote count, and the material reviewed for this story does not confirm certified results.

Ryan Mancini wrote The Hill's report. Meredith Lee Hill and Andrew Howard are the bylined authors of Politico's report.

This story is based only on the headlines and summaries of these two reports, so its description is limited to what those sources state. Readers who want the full reporting can consult the reports directly.
