When I first ran for governor in 2016 against the Republican incumbent, I was pretty far ahead, ended up winning by about 10,000 votes out of 5 million.
We know things break toward Republicans toward the end of North Carolina.
We just can't lose this race.
I need your help out there, guys.
And thank you, Ben, again, for having me on your show.
People are getting hit hard right now, Ben.
It's one of the reasons why I'm running for the United States Senate.
Washington is broken.
People are struggling.
They had an administration to promise them that they were going to deal with this high cost of living.
Not only had they not dealt with it, they made it worse for people with these tariffs that end up being paid by everyday people.
I've got an opponent, Michael Whatley, who keeps insisting that grocery prices are down and people know that that's not true.
And in fact, one of the great things I've gotten to do since I've left the governor's office is go to the grocery store actually, and people recognize me and come up and talk with me and have told me how difficult it is for them.
Too much month at the end of the money, this administration, this Congress is broken.
when you're making life unaffordable for people, when you're taking away their health care, that's not good for them.
And we need to change.
We need people who will go to Washington with practical experience, who can break this majority that we have.
We must break the majority in the US Senate.
and US House in order to bring some balance back to Washington and try to make this Washington work for everyday people instead of the billionaires that's been going on now for too long.
Yeah.
