Writing at his substack newsletter, Longleaf Politics, Andrew Dunn suggests Republicans "don't quite understand the [school choice] movement." Dunn says GOP lawmakers focus too much on trying to "neuter specific criticisms" from the Left, and should just argue the obvious: "Money should support the child, not prop up a system."  Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a post on his Longleaf Politics substack, Andrew Dunn writes about North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper's appearance on a CBS News program, where the two-term Democrat easily and smoothly insulted Republicans. If anybody still views Gov. Roy Cooper as a friendly, gentle, moderate politician, watching his recent interview with CBS News's Major Garrett would certainly disabuse them of that notion. Cooper lives and breathes partisan politics, and he sounded in his element riffing on the midterm results. He channeled his inner MSNBC host, labeling various Republican positions as “dangerous,” “diabolical,” "extreme," and “scary.” There was very little truly of note, with one exception: He's 100% on Team Biden.      Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Early voting is underway in North Carolina, and Republicans are hoping a "red wave" will deliver them a super-majority in the state legislature. Doing so would allow them to override Democratic Governor Roy Cooper's vetoes. Andrew Dunn, writing at Longleaf Politics doesn't think the GOP will be able to pull off big enough gains in both the Senate and the House: The GOP currently holds 28 seats in the N.C. Senate and 69 in the N.C. House. A veto-proof supermajority requires 30 seats and 72 seats, respectively. New electoral districts resulting from the 2020 Census (and court battles, of course) shift more voting power to deep blue urban areas and the suburbs, which have trended more liberal in their voting patterns. The Republican majority is safe. A supermajority is difficult. The excellent analysis of the partisan leanings of North Carolina's districts by the John Locke Foundation shows that Republicans will win a comfortable majority by holding onto seats that already are solidly or leaning red. The supermajority is considerably more difficult. Republicans would not only need to sweep the few true toss-up districts, but also pick up a handful of districts that lean Democratic. In a true red wave year, this is doable but not a guarantee.    Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Friday night saw the first (and only) debate for US Senate in North Carolina. It was aired on Spectrum News: The two top candidates running for North Carolina's open seat in the U.S. Senate, Republican Ted Budd and Democrat Cheri Beasley, met for a debate in Raleigh on Friday night. Hosted by Spectrum News 1, Friday's debate is the only time the two candidates were scheduled to meet before the Nov. 8 election. Writing at Longleaf Politics.com, Andrew Dunn said Budd hammered Beasley as a rubber stamp for the Biden agenda, and didn't make any serious mistakes. Debates are about moments, as Democratic strategist Morgan Jackson pointed out when he made the rounds on the state's political podcasts this week. Last night's U.S. Senate debate between Ted Budd and Cheri Beasley really had just one.  Moderator Tim Boyum asked both candidates about their relationship with the leaders of their parties — President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Budd handled it decently well, pointing out economic growth under the previous administration, and saying Trump endorsed him because he's “America First.” Beasley … well, she didn't handle it well at all.  When asked whether she'd stand on stage next to President Biden were he to come campaign in North Carolina, Beasley awkwardly danced around the question. After stumbling, she said she'd have to see if she was available. As Western Carolina University political scientist Dr. Chris Cooper said, "There was no mic drop moment."  Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
