US House candidate get support from GOP rivals (NC-08)

CONCORD, N.C. Three Republican candidates who lost in North Carolina's primary election are endorsing one of their former rivals in a runoff.

Hal Jordan, Lou Huddleston, and Darrell Day said in statements released on Friday that they are supporting U.S. House candidate Harold Johnson. The campaign for the 8th District nomination has resulted in a runoff between Johnson and Tim D'Annunzio.

The eventual winner of the June 22 primary will face Democratic Rep. Larry Kissell in November. The district covers southern North Carolina from Charlotte to Fayetteville.

D'Annunzio won the Tuesday race with 37 percent of the vote but didn't win enough support to avoid a runoff.
