Last week my “MAGA Warrior” opponent Bo Hines was “100% pro-Trump” and “100% pro-life.” This week he’s removed all pictures of Trump from his website and taken down all references to abortion. He’s running scared. Please RT and donate to help us beat Bo Hines in #NC13. #ncpol

Republicans and President-Elect Musk just blocked $9.8 billion in disaster relief for North Carolina. By killing the CR, they’ve denied our state crucial funding to rebuild after Hurricane Helene. Here’s what North Carolina will lose 👇

I’m a huge Star Wars fan and almost dropped my phone when I found out that @MarkHamill is following our campaign for Congress in #NC13. 🤩 Thanks so much to Mar🐪for being a fountain of positive energy on Twitter and for supporting our race!

Horrifying. Allison Riggs won by 734 votes but Judge Griffin has tried to throw out 65,000+ ballots from voters who all showed valid ID. Now the court has sided with him, giving those voters just 15 days to cure their ballots. This is a direct attack on the will of the people.

BREAKING: In a 2-1 opinion, NC Court of Appeals sides with Griffin, orders State Board of Elections to recount votes. Voters w/ missing registration info & military/overseas voters lacking photo ID will get 15 days to cure ballots. Never Residents to be removed from count. #ncpol

Today, I’m suspending my campaign for Senate and proudly endorsing @RoyCooperNC. We started this campaign to send Thom Tillis packing. Well, mission accomplished I guess!

Lost in the debate: Democrats have been totally screwed by Republican gerrymandering nationwide. Republicans **currently** have a 16 seat gerrymandering advantage according to the non-partisan @BrennanCenter. Gerrymandering handed the GOP majorities in the House in ‘22 and ‘24.

🚨MAGA Republican seeks to throw away the votes of 60,000 North Carolinians to overturn a free and fair election. Justice @AllisonJRiggs won the NC Supreme Court race by 734 votes. This should make your blood boil.

NC GOP gerrymandering cost me my seat in Congress and robbed Democrats of a majority in the House. I spoke with @Lawrence on @MSNBC about it after the last election. Mark my words: Unless blue states start acting with a real sense of urgency, it’ll happen again.

My opponent would criminalize abortion with NO exceptions. I’m running against a Trump-endorsed extremist in North Carolina. But I can’t do it with only 34k followers. RT to help this campaign grow and increase our chances of beating Bo in Nov. Thanks! #nc13 🗣
