Democrat’s big cash haul signals perilous Tillis reelect bid
RALEIGH, NC (AP) — Campaign finance reports show that North Carolina Republican Sen. Thom Tillis was outraised nearly 3-to-1 by his Democratic challenger in the last quarter.
The news that Cal Cunningham’s campaign raised $7.4 million for the three months ending June 30 and that Tillis raised $2.6 million signals a more precarious reelection bid for the incumbent.
The two campaigns were essentially tied with cash in their coffers starting July 1.
Tillis is one of a handful of Senate Republicans considered vulnerable this fall.
Democrats need to win three or four additional seats to retake the majority in the chamber.
