Nate Silver

  John -- Democrats can flip North Carolina blue and take back the Senate. The proof is in the numbers. The polls are saying Cal can defeat Thom Tillis. Three major election forecasters rated our race a “toss-up.” And our fundraising kept pace with Tillis’ GOP mega-donors last quarter…

Good news and bad news

  Good news first, John -- Multiple public polls have shown Cal defeating Thom Tillis and in a position to flip this seat; Our opponent is so weak, nobody seems to like him or trust him -- including his conservative base; Three political forecasters have now rated this race a toss-…

“esse quam videri”

  John, North Carolina’s state motto is “esse quam videri” -- to be rather than to seem. It means you ought to walk the walk and live up to what you say you're going to do. But Thom Tillis has failed to live up to our standards. Here’s the truth: Let’s throw Tillis back and replace h…

  Hi John -- It’s the final month of the year, which means we’re coming up on our biggest FEC deadline yet. So, my team and I decided to do things a little differently. I hope you’ll give me a moment to explain. With only four weeks left in 2019, staying on track for the quarter and a…

Senator Tillis is cowardly

  I can’t believe this, John -- Thom Tillis’ campaign just called me “cowardly” for wanting to pursue the facts in the investigation of President Trump. They’ve got some nerve. Serving three tours of duty, including in Iraq and Afghanistan, isn’t cowardly. Pursuing the facts in an ong…
