In North Carolina, Republican leaders are taking steps to replace a candidate on the November ballot. A representative has dropped out of their reelection campaign. This decision comes after an ethics panel investigation found evidence of unwanted advances toward female staff members.

The Republican party in western North Carolina will meet to choose a replacement candidate. This meeting is scheduled to take place soon. The goal is to have a conservative voice on the ballot for the upcoming election.

Further details about the situation and the upcoming election are available from KVIA ABC-7's source, CNN.
