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.
I may hate that he’s an pro-Israel AIPAC shill, but he stood up for queer rights and reproductive rights in a state dominated by the GOP and a sizable Bible thumping, reactionary rural population. He handled COVID eons more compentently than Trump did.
For the non- Carolinians: We have a good-enough governor right now (Stein) and our AG is great. The AG (Jeff Jackson) actually stepped down from his congressional seat to run for AG, and got it.
Unfortunately, Stein has been stripped of many of his powers by the legislature, making him one of the weakest governors.
