@MZanona @Olivia_Beavers But Budd and McCrory are paying Walker little mind at this point. Walker weighed primary against Tillis last cycle. “If I were Mark Walker, I would not have run for the Senate because I could not see a path for myself.” Tillis says now — PolitiTweet.org

@MZanona @Olivia_Beavers Then there's Mark Walker, the third candidate who likened the race to Alabama 2017. "This, to me, is kind of a Roy Moore situation if you're not careful," he said. "I don't see how [Budd] can win a general election,” Predicts Trump unloads on McCrory — PolitiTweet.org

@MZanona @Olivia_Beavers Budd poll showed him down to McCrory but gaining after informing people of Trump endorsement. But Trump is off Twitter and isn't president -- he doesn't have same megaphone Trump's nod will "be helpful. But I don’t know if it will be outcome-determinative" for Budd, said Graham — PolitiTweet.org

@MZanona @Olivia_Beavers Burr is “telling everyone that McCrory is the only one that has a chance to win," per one R senator. Burr also appeared puzzled by the former president's decision-making in NC. "I’ve never seen individuals endorse a candidate a year before the primary. That’s unusual" — PolitiTweet.org

There’s been some divisions on whether this is out or in. It’s unlikely to raise much money in the short-term but would eventually bring in more significant amounts. Federal Gas tax has been stagnant since 1993 — PolitiTweet.org

“every one of us looks for opportunities to work with Sen. Manchin," said Sen. Blunt. He added that when “Stacey Abrams immediately endorsed Sen. Manchin’s proposal, it became the Stacey Abram’s substitute, not the Joe Manchin substitute.” — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

“It needs to be blocked,” said Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), who praised Manchin last week for “saving our country” in encouraging bipartisanship. “I’m not optimistic that they could make enough changes to that to make it a fair bill. It would usurp the rights of the states.” — PolitiTweet.org

Sens. Murkowski and Romney, both Manchin GOP allies, say they are unlikely to support opening debate on elections bill next week. Schumer has promised that advancing Dems' bill would allow Manchin's amendment Romney: that strategy “doesn’t make a lot of sense to me" — PolitiTweet.org
