In a race straight out of a Parks and Recreation script, Senator Thom Tillis has won re-election to North Carolina’s hotly contested Senate seat.
The announcement is another win for Republicans who will likely maintain control of the Senate.
From the NY Post:
Thom Tillis, the GOP senator from North Carolina, has won re-election after a nail-biting, days-long count, handing the Republican Party a major victory as it looks to hold onto control of the Senate.
Democratic challenger Cal Cunningham called the incumbent on Tuesday, one week after Americans went to the polls, to concede the race.
“I just called Senator Tillis to congratulate him on winning reelection to a second term in the U.S. Senate and wished him and his family the best in their continued service in the months and years ahead,” Cunningham said in a statement.
It was a close race, Tillis winning with 48.7 percent of the vote compared to Cunningham’s 47.6 percent.
Cunningham’s bid was also derailed when he admitted to sexting a woman who is not his wife. The revelation came just hours after Tillis announced he had tested positive for coronavirus and was quarantining.
Cunningham concedes:
Cal Cunningham concedes: “I just called Senator Tillis to congratulate him on winning re-election to a second term in the U.S. Senate and wished him and his family the best in their continued service in the months and years ahead,” he says.

Memo to the rest of the country: This is how it’s supposed to work.
Trump is playing by the rules, while the other side has not.
Trump carried them all to victory.
North Carolina governor, communist, wins the election while Trump and Tillis win. Fishy?
So, the same people that voted for Trump and Tillis then split and voted for a marxist governor? No way, more crooked.
Forest made reopening NC a cornerstone of his campaign. The Dems simply screamed “BOO!!!” at those voters still panicked over bat fever, and that made the difference.
And, as predicted, once Cooper isn’t facing an election, he announced that the reopening has stalled and the lockdown will continue. He reduced the number of acceptable indoor gatherings from 25 to 10.
We just ignore Cooper.
Why did this take a week?
Because NC is allowing votes to be counted for 9 days after the election!
Nuts! It’s been a mess here.

The Jody was jumping an enlisted man’s wife. A big no, no for an officer.
Not big? Except for losing the election, one could say that he screwed himself.
