North Carolina Republicans are growing more and more concerned about Senator Thom Tillis’ reelection bid. The vulnerable incumbent was already facing a tough reelection – three major nonpartisan election analysts have shifted the race to “Toss-Up” as polls show that the race is increasingly competitive and Tillis faces a strong Democratic challenger in Army veteran Cal Cunningham. But now local Republican Party leaders are worried Tillis will suffer “collateral damage” from his close friend and colleague Senator Richard Burr’s stock trading scandal. A new report from Fox 46 details the concern among North Carolina GOP leaders and follows last week’s Daily Beast report about the fears within the North Carolina GOP that Burr’s growing scandal “could take down Tillis.”
