U.S. Rep. Ted Budd, a Republican backed by former President Donald Trump in North Carolina’s Senate race, is pulling ahead of other GOP candidates in the polls for retiring Sen. Richard Burr’s seat.
The Raleigh News & Observer reported Sunday that Budd, a Davie County native, is leading by the double digits in the polls ahead of former Gov. Pat McCrory, former U.S. Rep. Mark Walker and political newcomer Marjorie Eastman. He has skipped debates, strategizing to instead rely on campaign events and millions of dollars in advertisements to resonate with voters and secure the party ticket.
The influential conservative PAC Club For Growth plans to spend $14 million supporting Budd in the primary. McCrory has accused the super PAC of "trying to steal this election through deception," after the release of a new ad of North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson endorsing Budd. The ad, which began airing on statewide television Wednesday, criticizes McRory as the state GOP's former standard-bearer.
"Now look, I voted for Pat McCrory in the past, but not this time. Pat’s a nice guy, but he’s no conservative," Robinson says in the ad, calling Budd, a current U.S. House member, the "principled, conservative choice for U.S. Senate."

Club for Growth is still around? Don’t those guys suck?
Club for Cheap Labor is not on our side.
What’s there to know? Trump leads people follow.
I remember Club For Growth supported Arnold for Gov.-recall. McClintock was the real conservative and like the voters they went for the flash. Sometimes it’s good to stay true to your beliefs even when you lose.
The Senate race was one of the topics cussed and discussed at coffee downtown Monday and Budd was our unanimous choice.

Trump -> Oz
Are you now endorsing McCrory?
So we have the most conservative candidate gaining momentum in the primary and you show up yet again to throw cold water on something good and discourage people.
Always there to help the Democrats and demoralize Republicans...no matter what.
No, Ted is the best we can hope for in NC, but the Club for Cheap Labor is NOT on our side and people need to be cautious about embracing them, even when they appear to side with us.
GO TRUMP GO
Ted Budd will make a good Senator. Lord knows he’ll be a lot better than that tool Richard Burr was.
Now to get rid of our RINO Senator Tom Tillis who I voted for ahead of Jody Cunningham in the last election. My days of supporting RINOs are forever ended after the Steal. RINOs broke the deal - they must be driven out.
