Rep. Joe Wilson wins 15th term in U.S. House

Republican Rep. Joe Wilson has won a 15th term representing South Carolina’s 2nd Congressional District, defeating Democrat Zyon Khalifa. The race went to a state-mandated recount after Wilson led by less than one percentage point following the Nov. 3 election. Recount results gave Wilson a 2,926-vote margin, and The Associated Press projected him as the winner Wednesday. Wilson was first elected to the House in 2001.
