26-year-old Bo Hines wins N.C. GOP House primary

Catch up quick: Hines' young age and meteoric political rise has garnered comparisons to fellow North Carolinian Rep. Madison Cawthorn — who has faced a share of controversies this year — but Hines told Axios earlier this month that the two are "nothing alike."

• Cawthorn was defeated in his own primary on Tuesday, losing to state Sen. Chuck Edwards.

The big picture: The race to replace Rep. Ted Budd, who won the GOP nomination for Senate, will be closely watched as the district is one of the most competitive in North Carolina.

What's next: Hines will face Democratic nominee state Sen. Wiley Nickel in November.
