Friend --

“Four years ago, a Supreme Court vacancy arose under divided government and a lame-duck president as Americans were choosing his successor. Today, however, President Trump is again facing voters at the ballot box and North Carolinians will ultimately render their judgment on his presidency and how he chooses to fill the vacancy,” 

Those were the words of North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

It’s sort of incredible that a 60-year-old man can still perform such gymnastics -- like the leap between refusing to hold a hearing for President Obama’s nominee and committing to support President Trump’s.

It’s abhorrent, but Senator Tillis is right on one thing: There is a clear choice on the future of the Supreme Court. 

That’s why we have to support Cal Cunningham right now: This is one of the closest races in the country, and flipping this seat could be the difference between flipping the Senate -- and keeping the vultures off this nomination. 

We need to raise $8,000 for Cal Cunningham’s campaign before next week’s EOQ deadline: Will you donate $5 or more right now?

Sincerely,

Chuck Schumer
