Days after Sen. Richard Burr issued a subpoena to Donald Trump Jr. to appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee, the North Carolina Republican's decision continues to reverberate throughout his home state, especially among Republicans.
On a day when North Carolinians are going to the polls for a primary in a special election for a US House seat, some GOP voters were troubled by Burr's role in issuing the subpoena while other Republicans appeared ready to give their senior senator the benefit of the doubt. "I think I'm going to wait and see what his reasons were, why he's doing it, what the purpose is," Kelly Allgood, who said she did not want to have a knee-jerk reaction, told CNN in an interview Tuesday.
""I think the President's son has answered every question. He's been interrogated. He's been cleared. To reopen this up again and keep this going is keeping a narrative that I think everyone realizes now is just, it's a misnomer. We just continue to waste money and time," he said.For some constituents like Rob Simmons, Burr's decision was a defining moment that meant they would no longer support Burr.
