Tillis' fundraising numbers highlight Republican money struggles vs. Democrats in NC

[TexasTowelie]

Democrats in many of North Carolina’s top statewide races far out-raised their Republican opponents over the past few months.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham raised $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2020, a record-breaking amount for a quarter for a Senate candidate. Incumbent Sen. Thom Tillis, a Republican, raised $2.6 million from April through June, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday.

And Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, seeking a second term, raised nearly $6 million from mid-February to the end of June, more than doubling the $2.4 million haul of Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Forest, his opponent in November.

Federal and state candidates were required to file campaign finance reports this week.

3. Roy Cooper has to run again already?

Seems like yesterday, or did I miss something, time slips by. 2 years?

He's been good, really really good.

4. In 2016 NC elected Dem governor, and 45

Repug state legislature has challenged Cooper at every turn, but he's done a great job.

So it's been almost 4 years. I believe Biden will win NC, and Cooper will be reelected. Cautiously optimistic about Cunningham.

I really do live in a time-distorted plateau. Need more ties to a calendar I guess.
