North Carolina Democrats will vote Tuesday in a closely watched primary between incumbent Rep. Valerie Foushee and challenger Nida Allam, Durham County Commissioner backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders and progressive groups seeking a younger, more leftist representative. The race reflects a broader trend of Democratic primary voters choosing more progressive candidates since Trump's 2024 election, with outside groups spending heavily on both sides over issues including immigration enforcement, Israel's Gaza war, and artificial intelligence policy.
