Some Republicans are growing worried that two key Senate races once considered critical to holding their majority are slipping from their grasp.

In more than a dozen interviews with campaign officials, senators and operatives, there is recognition that North Carolina and Georgia are looking less competitive than the party once anticipated and that decisions need to be made soon about whether to keep investing, even as party officials insist they are not walking away from their candidates there.

Republican senators like North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, said it was time for the party to make some tough decisions about spending.

      We live near Western NC, and this area was hit hard by the hurricane two years ago, and is still trying to rebuild.

      Trump was there a couple of weeks ago threatening to not provide the rest of the Fema funding they’re expecting if his candidate didn’t get elected in the mid term. Even for the level of backwoods chud that would still show up at a Trump event, they weren’t happy with that.

        What a way to win the hearts and minds of your constituents… by threatening them.

        What a fucking douchebag.

          Get ready. After the Midterms, theit next objective is to end elections, because otherwise, they’ll be going to prison after 2028. It won’t be about winning hearts & minds, it will be about establishing FEAR, so expect not only threats, but vicious violence.

            Allegedly there’s a cadre of his inner circle that’s already pushing to establish martial law and cancel the midterms.
