Ray Copper is screwed without Dem strongholds like Randolph County showing up.

[Bryan Anderson @BryanRAnderson]

Turnout is up in North Carolina in all but five counties compared to 2022: Alexander, Alleghany, Columbus, Gates, Randolph. #ncpol

Can we talk about how that signature looks like a 12 year old with a Sharpie?

[Luke Farley @LukeFarleyNC]

Ever wonder what your face would look like in 33,000 elevators? Visit the @NCDOL booth at the @NCStateFair and you too can be elevator famous. #ElevatorFamous

The Republican GOTV talking point this year is that they’re “chasing” and, well …

Fact Check: True

[Tate Whitmer @tw_politics]

They keep saying we’re checked out and demoralized 🤔

Reality in Wake Forest today: 50+ in the pouring rain to hear Congressman Knott, Rep Schietzelt & Chris Stock kick off our Super Chase. Thankful for EVERYONE who made this possible 🌲

Be the thermostat, not the thermometer 🎯

#NCGA Republicans have been in control of state energy policy for 15 years. Are you saying it’s time for a change?

[Pat Harrigan @PatHarriganNC]

North Carolina's average household electric bill has climbed from about $118 a month in 2020 to nearly $160 in 2026, and Duke Energy projects electricity demand across its Carolina systems could grow another 16% to nearly 60% by 2040.

We need more reliable power to keep up, which is why I introduced the Next-Generation Geothermal Research and Development Act, which has now passed the House.

The bill would help American companies develop technology to drill deeper underground, capture the Earth's natural heat, and turn it into electricity that runs 24/7, potentially unlocking up to 90 gigawatts of power nationwide.

That's roughly the generating capacity of 90 large nuclear reactors, and expanding that kind of dependable power could help limit future increases in electric bills for North Carolina families while keeping electricity affordable for manufacturers in Hickory, Statesville, and across #NC10.

Maybe sit this one out y’all.

[NC House Republicans @NCHouseGOP]

THIS IS CRAZY!

Not only did NC House Democratic candidate Elma Hairston defend Jeffrey Epstein’s main accomplice, but she also prayed for convicted sex trafficker and child predator R. Kelly to be released from prison.

Hairston even went so far as to attack Kelly’s victims! #ncpol

@WhatleyNC You should say that in your TV ads. You’re running TV ads, right?

Join NC Republicans in voting for lower taxes for Data Centers, Duke Energy, and Billionaires!

“Momentum is growing for Republican candidate who does nothing to differentiate himself from Republican President with 29% approval rating.”

Momentum is growing in NC for @WhatleyNC

These Senate races are about supporting the common sense candidates and stopping socialism in America. The Democrats have lost their way.

Roy Cooper is to Andrew Gillum as Apples are to Armadillos.

[Steve Schale @steveschale]

Roy is a unique candidate and I have no doubt he's leading, but just as I begged my Dem friends to not believe "Gillum +12" polls in Florida in 2018, please do not believe this either.

This is not today, nor will it ever be, a 15 point race.

This is still North Carolina.

[Full Grassley + @FullGrassley]

People who don’t understand crosstab conventions, media markets, DMAs, and area codes probably shouldn’t interpret polls.

[A.P. Dillon @APDillon_]

15 points is way off from the 4, 6, and 7 pts of three other recent polls.
Why would that be?

The bulk of the responses came from blue/Democrat areas: Charlotte (27.3%), and Raleigh/Durham (31.3%), plus 17.3% in Winston/Salem.
Also, white females dominated with 39.6% of the respondents.

[Full Grassley + @FullGrassley]

In no way surprised at Carter’s score.

[theleahfiles @leahfiles]

People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.

I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin.

Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.

Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.

Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.

So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.

PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice.

Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.

U.S. House Republicans decided to give up and go home today.

No economic relief, no action on AI, no oversight of Iran, nothing.

Working Americans and all the people who are struggling right now? Left out to dry.

Concerns about an existential threat to humanity? Ignored.

Mike Johnson won’t just lose the leadership election; at this rate, he’ll get laughed out of the caucus.

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

NYT has D+8 on the generic, which traditionally would spell a wipeout for Republicans.

Who knows what to make of anything these days!!!

Very likely why Dem leadership was having a row with MGP on the floor.

[Sarah Ferris @sarahnferris]

House Dem member says they personally got outreach from the White House promising certain perks (infrastructure projects, etc) if they helped back the GOP rule today.

This member opposed rule but believes the White House called others, too.

[Full Grassley + @FullGrassley]

I wonder which political party has been in charge of every budget and every piece of legislation for the last 15 years or so.

Maybe someone should tell this loserbro.

[Robert Burns @RobertBurnsNC]

North Carolina FIRST means,
North Carolinians FIRST.

We need
better job opportunities,
better schools and education,
better healthcare,
better tax breaks,
better public safety,
better laws,
better privacy laws,
better housing,

FOR NORTH CAROLINIANS.

Our current executive branch can’t deliver on these things because they built and own the policies that create abysmal returns for our people for decades.

TIME TO REFOCUS AND CHANGE OUR COURSE.

@CedarPosts @WhatleyNC lol at “most competitive” … this one isn’t going to be as close as 1986 (27K vote margin), 2014 (45K votes) or 1998 (83K votes).

Greg Murphy has opposed 9/11 victims, survivors, and their families while in Congress, including a “Nay” vote on the Fairness for 9/11 Families Act, passed by a vote of 400-31, which increased compensation for 5,000 victims of 9/11 as well as their spouses and dependents.

[Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. @RepGregMurphy]

We remember the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, that took the lives of 2,977 innocent Americans and honor the heroes who ran toward danger to save others.

We will never forget those we lost in the most devastating attack on American soil in our nation’s history.
