Trump personally attacked me
Last night, President Trump held a rally in North Carolina in support of my GOP opponent, Michael Whatley.
He told that crowd a lot of lies – about me, my record and the grassroots movement we’re building.
And while visiting Hendersonville this week, JD Vance embarrassed himself again when he implied “Raleigh-Durham” was the name of our capital city – you can tell he doesn’t really leave the airport the few times he’s been in NC!!
Now, a Trump-aligned super PAC is throwing a multimillion dollar lifeline Whatley’s way in a last-ditch effort to buy his way into this seat.
I know I’m getting tired of this, and I’m sure you are, too, but we can’t let up now.
Thanks to grassroots supporters like you, we’ve had the resources to fight back against the false attacks I’ve had to face thus far in the race. For that, I’m so grateful – but we’re still falling behind on the $1 million rapid-response goal my team and I set.
The GOP has poured tens of millions into this race to defeat me – because if we fail to flip North Carolina from red to blue, Democrats will lose our chance at taking back the Senate.
With North Carolinians already casting their ballots, we urgently need to break through all of Trump’s noise and reach voters with the truth. That’s why it’s essential that we get back on track ASAP, so I’m personally asking:
Thank you. I really appreciate it.
