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

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 NCDNC has no fight in them. I live in Tim Moore’s district and they have not done anything to support his opponent. That little shit goblin could be pushed out but Womack gets nothing. I don’t even know how she is running. The NCDNC gave up any fight when Heath Shular stepped aside for Mark Meadows. If it is not an easy seat the DNC just throws up their hands and cries oh well.

        I feel like people are realizing if the dems aren’t taking this seriously they can just run their own candidate and force them onto the dems. Didn’t Georgia do something like that?

          In Florida, Angi Dixon is neck & neck with her MAGA opponent. MAGA is trying to position her as a Commie, because she joined the DSA. But the only reason she joined the DSA is because the DNC wouldn’t support her in the primary, and the DSA would. She didn’t like all of their positions, but they overlapped with her priorities, so she went with them, and then WON her primary.

          Now MAGA is savaging her as a Commie, saying “She actually signed up for this!” But she’s not really a DemSoc, she just accepted their help in the primary because the Dems wouldn’t.

          It doesn’t matter anyway, Florida elections are fully rigged. Even if she gets more votes, Florida MAGAs will challenge enough votes in Democratic counties, and toss them out, until they have a fraction of a lead, and then call the race for the MAGA. That’s how DeSantis and Scott got elected by a sliver of a fraction of a point. Florida’s elections need to be heavily investigated.
