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.

    What a way to win the hearts and minds of your constituents… by threatening them.

    What a fucking douchebag.

      Get ready. After the Midterms, theit next objective is to end elections, because otherwise, they’ll be going to prison after 2028. It won’t be about winning hearts & minds, it will be about establishing FEAR, so expect not only threats, but vicious violence.

        Allegedly there’s a cadre of his inner circle that’s already pushing to establish martial law and cancel the midterms.

          2029 isn’t going to be like 2021, precisely because nothing happened after 2021. The losers who were running the Dem Congress back then have spawned an entirely new progressive movement that is going to be a major influence on the next Dem congress.

          We are done suffering the incompetence and evil of Corporate Politicians. If the Corpo-Establishment Dems don’t go along with what the Citizens want, they will find themselves in the hole with the MAGAs, being treated the same way.
