Some Republicans are growing worried that two key Senate races once considered critical to holding their majority are slipping from their grasp.

In more than a dozen interviews with campaign officials, senators and operatives, there is recognition that North Carolina and Georgia are looking less competitive than the party once anticipated and that decisions need to be made soon about whether to keep investing, even as party officials insist they are not walking away from their candidates there.

Republican senators like North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, said it was time for the party to make some tough decisions about spending.

      2029 isn’t going to be like 2021, precisely because nothing happened after 2021. The losers who were running the Dem Congress back then have spawned an entirely new progressive movement that is going to be a major influence on the next Dem congress.

      We are done suffering the incompetence and evil of Corporate Politicians. If the Corpo-Establishment Dems don’t go along with what the Citizens want, they will find themselves in the hole with the MAGAs, being treated the same way.

          It’s up to us, we just have to take control, and we are. One of the ways is to not surrender in advance. Saying that the Dems will never fight back is self-defeating. We need to be threatening our OWN Democratic representatives that they better fight for us, or we will vote them out, and then do it. They’ll learn VERY quickly.

          A lot of local politicians are about to get voted out all over the country over their support of data centers. After the Midterm bloodbath, one of the big stories will be how badly the voters savaged those that voted for data centers despite their constituents being strongly against them. When the state and federal politicians on both sides see that, it will wake them up.
