Here’s what the national news outlets are saying:

  All eyes are on North Carolina, John. Just check it out: “[North Carolina] could decide which party controls Washington.” — The Hill “North Carolina could be the decisive Senate seat in the battle for the majority.” — POLITICO “North Carolina is probably a must-win for Democrats to …

The Koch network endorsed my opponent

  The Koch network is wading into our race again — endorsing my opponent and promising to pour in even more money to help him. I’m reaching out today for your help, especially with our first FEC deadline of the year looming large. Rush a critical contribution of $10 or more to my camp…

Montana

  Hey John, take a look at this news: Governor Steve Bullock just announced his campaign for U.S. Senate in Montana. Our chances of taking back the Senate have never been stronger, so I’m turning to you during this critical moment: Steve Bullock’s race, along with ours right here in N…

Re: 3/6/20 memo

  Hey John — Wanted to loop you in on a memo I just sent around to the team. We’re in the strongest position possible (see below) to take on Republican Senator Thom Tillis and flip this Senate seat come November. But there’s also some bad news. This is expected to be one of the most e…

HUGE news

  HUGE news! Cook Political Report just upgraded our race from “lean Republican” to “toss-up.” All eyes are on North Carolina, John. This will be one of the most competitive and expensive races in the entire country. It’s critical we capitalize on this momentum, so we’re asking: Can y…

NEW POLL: 46-41

  A new poll was released in our race for U.S. Senate in North Carolina: Here are two quick things you need to know about these numbers: Tillis is in serious trouble. That’s why he’s begging Donald Trump for help, and why Mitch McConnell pulled out all the stops to try to meddle in …

Last night

  Last night, we secured the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. We got one step closer to replacing Thom Tillis — and one step closer to putting the values and voices of North Carolinians first in our country’s debates. Thank you. It would be an honor to serve the state that I lov…

Quick hello

  Hi, John — I’ve stopped by polling places today, talking to North Carolinians before they cast their ballots. But I wanted to take the time to write a quick note. Last night, President Trump visited our state for the fourth time and called my opponent “incredible” and a “tremendous …

Here’s what Trump said about our opponent:

  John — Donald Trump was in North Carolina last night. Here’s what he said about our race: “[Thom Tillis] is doing great. I hear he’s way up in the polls, he’s way up in the polls.” You mean these polls, Mr. President? Cal Cunningham (D): 48% Thom Tillis (R): 43% NBC News/Marist Poll…

Before Trump lands in North Carolina

  John, we need you to pitch in $4 before Trump lands in North Carolina tomorrow. Here’s why: Democrats only need to pick up four seats to take back the Senate majority this year — North Carolina is our best chance. Trump knows that, too. That’s why he’s making his fourth visit tomorr…

The last thing

  In 48 hours, Trump will be back in North Carolina for the FOURTH time since Cal Cunningham got into this race. It’s no surprise, John. Our opponent, Thom Tillis, is more vulnerable than ever. His approval ratings are underwater, his fundraising numbers are weak, and polls show Cal d…

Grasping at straws

$4
