I know how difficult it is to win in North Carolina, and how hard we’ll have to work to flip this seat.

I also know that early investment goes further and can make all the difference in a race that will be so close. Every dollar we raise now will pay dividends come Election Day.

If you’re surprised by any revelations in Epstein files re: Trump that is because the media failed you in an epic way in 2016. One did not need to look hard to find decades of depravity concerning his behavior but they chose to look the other way because HRC had some emails.

Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas.

Remember: these are people who entered the country legally.

Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.
