Democrat Cheri Beasley has outraised Ted Budd in her Senate bid in North Carolina, but supporters say national GOP spending in the state is drowning her out.
In an interview, he said no amount of money will help Democrats win because their stances are out of touch with the North Carolinians he’s been talking to.
“Coming into this race, she should have been one who was looked at as a person who has shown that they have the chops to have this sophisticated campaign to win the statewide U.S. Senate race,” Brown James said. “That being said, she has had to almost prove herself over and over and over again.” Butterfield said he recently talked to Sen. Gary Peters , head of the DSCC. “He tells me that his first obligation is to take care of his incumbents, the Senator Warnocks and the like … and now it’s time to invest in red-to-blue seats in battleground states,” Butterfield said. “And I believe based on my conversation with him that he’s guaranteed that there will be more investment. I certainly hope so.
Budd’s stump speeches last week — and those of guests at his events, including Sen. John Neely Kennedy and Donald Trump Jr. — blasted President Biden and the Democratic Party for rising inflation, increasing crime and what they call out-of-touch policies. On the stump and in their debate, Budd has said Beasley would be “a rubber stamp for Joe Biden.”
DSCC spokesperson Amanda Sherman Baity said the group has helped Beasley from the outset of her general election campaign.
