They’ve run radio ads on the Raleigh/Greensboro local talk station multiple times a day for the last several days/weeks.
The ads incorporate Trump’s vocal endorsement, repetitively.
McCrory is largely damaged goods over HB-2, which was probably the reason he was defeated as governor.
I don’t know the Congressman, but I’d rather not have the airwaves filled with “HB-2” all over again, since it’s no longer a thing.
McCrory lost due to a toll road north of Charlotte (he had nothing to do with it but Cooper signed the contracts) McCrory never went after Cooper for that and lost Republican voters in Iredell County which is RED (Trump 66%)
