CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Political Contributor, Mary C. Curtis, sets the stage for Tuesday’s U.S. Senate Seat competition.
Republicans across the country are keeping a close eye on North Carolina’s Republican Primary for the U.S. Senate.
Eight candidates in the race could make it tough for Kay Hagan to get the 40 percent plus one amount of the vote needed to win the race and avoid a runoff.
Curtis helps us understand and breaks down the race.
an anything upset the script of the 2014 U.S. Senate election in North Carolina, as it’s now being written? It may depend on whether a 2014 renewal of the “Moral Monday” coalition and an accompanying voter registration effort will increase dissatisfaction with the state’s rightward legislative shift and motivate enthusiasm for the Democratic incumbent.
Because of diverse opposition to issues that range from a refusal of the Medicaid expansion to education cuts to limits on unemployment benefits to new voting rules now being fought in the courts, the nationalized partisan voting trends hardening in a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll may not be as firm in North Carolina.
