Favor

  I’ll cut to the chase, John: Mitch McConnell knows the outcome of this race will determine if he keeps his Senate majority, so he’s trying every trick in the book to stop our momentum. The attack ads have begun, and Washington Republicans are attempting to rally their base. With Tho…

Re: landslides

  North Carolina does a lot of things, John, but I can tell you from experience that landslides are not one of them. This race is a toss-up right now. Some pollsters even have it down to just a single point between me and my opponent. Everything we do is going to matter — and that mea…
