Possible GOP loss? Pittenger was rated likely to win November. Dem is a veteran, now open seat. No Gov or Senate race to draw voters out.

Probably another race where the dems can have a massive fundraising advantage and still lose.

Gotta thank all the rich lefty californians for stimulating the economy with political ad spending

Nonsense. The conservative, Trump-proud, candidate won.

But notice the Hill’s headline touts the DEFEAT of the RINO incompetent (er, incumbent), NOT the victory of the Trump-supporter candidate.

“.Pittinger”

“.Pastor”

Is putting a period in front of a sentence a thing now?

Or is “.P” a new letter?

I don’t get all the memos any more.

I voted for Pittenger. He’s a little bit squirmy, but reliably conservative. In a mid-term election it’s about holding seats and an incumbent would have a better chance especially if the Dems are running vets. Overall McCready received more votes than the 3 gop candidates combined, I’m not sure what that means in a primary with low turnout. Let’s just hope Harris doesn’t say anything stupid along the way, that won’t help.

I helped vote him out. If anything, Harris will win this.

NC’s US Senators and many of its Congressmen are solidly GOPe. Good riddance to any and all of them.

Will depend soley on the district make up....

Simple calculus... IF GOP Midterm turnout numbers in the past, are not higher than DEM presidential year turnouts.... odds are in Dems favor.

However, since this guy is an outsider, he may indeed be able to attract and get support from non traditional MAGA/TRUMP voters, so may win.

That should be your general view of any congressional seat this fall... The GOP refuses to learn the lessons of 2016, and keeps campaigning as though it never happened... Dems are going to show up in full force, and GOP has not given those non traditional voters a reason to care or show up.
