Clay Aiken is a runner-up once again – loses bid for congressional seat in North Carolina

Clay Aiken has lost his bid for a North Carolina seat in the US House of Representatives.

A runner-up on both American Idol and Celebrity Apprentice, Aiken found himself finishing second once again – this time to Republican incumbent Renee Ellmers.

Ellmers was leading Aiken with more than 56 percent of the vote, according to the Associated Press.

Aiken, 35, was fighting an uphill battle from the start as a Democrat running in a heavily Republican congressional district in his home state.

It what could have been seen as a bad omen, Aiken’s campaign bus broke down shortly after he voted Tuesday and he was forced to complete his schedule in a back-up car.
