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.
The governor that self-certified his own election and then illegally destroyed the ballots even though the courts told him he couldn’t? But for some reason he’s in office and not prison?
That’s the one. He’s not MAGA, but he’s still Republican.
Fun history of Georgia: as recently as 1998, Georgia elected a Democratic governor, and Democrats regularly won state-wide offices. In the wake of the 2000 fiasco, when everyone suddenly went to electronic ballots, Georgia chose a system with no paper trail, and no Democrat won a state-wide race for nearly 2 decades. Then, in 2020, they changed voting systems to one that includes a paper trail, and Democrats immediately won both Senate seats. The Republicans have never won a Georgia Senate race that included paper records.

But what does that have to do with this article?
