Republicans Fear They Have a North Carolina Problem

“Republicans are increasingly worried that North Carolina’s Senate race is slipping out of contention,” Politico reports.

“For months, they had argued that a post-Labor Day infusion of cash could jolt new energy into the largely stagnant but critical Senate race. But as Republican nominee Michael Whatley struggles to meaningfully close the gap against Democrat Roy Cooper in the polls, some in the party fear they’re running out of time.”

“Republicans’ concerns were apparent in side conversations, closed-door meetings and even on-stage speeches at their splashy midterm convention in Dallas.”
