College junior wins GOP primary against 10-term incumbent NC state lawmaker: 'Lot of hard work'
A North Carolina college junior is heading for the general election after defeating a 10-term incumbent state representative.
21-year-old Wyatt Gable joined "Fox & Friends" Thursday after beating 81-year-old incumbent state Rep. George Cleveland in North Carolina's Super Tuesday election by 95 votes. Cleveland has represented the district for two decades.
Gable said he is "very confident" about winning the seat in November, given that the 14th District is a typically red district.

The idea behind Gable's run for office began during the COVID pandemic. After enduring lockdowns and witnessing what he believed was the government stripping away individual freedoms, Gable reached out to his then-Rep. Cleveland with no response.
"I remember I was sitting in my microeconomics class, and I wrote him an email and never heard anything back," he said. "And I just remember how it felt. And I don't want anyone to feel the same way I felt, you know, not being left out. So that's where I got the idea. And here we are now."
