🚨 RATINGS CHANGE: Inside Elections Shifts NC-01 in Democrats’ Direction as Voters Sour on Laurie Buckhout

Yesterday, Inside Elections shifted their prediction for North Carolina’s 1st Congressional District in Democrats’ direction — the latest sign voters will keep NC-01 blue.

Inside Elections writes in part that “A poll…found Davis leading opponent Laurie Buckhout by 7 points,” noting that it “comes after Buckhout endured embarrassing headlines about how she placed bets on her own campaign.”

REMINDER: The rating change comes as Buckhout has made it crystal clear that she has no interest in actually addressing the needs of North Carolinians, going as far as to say the cost-spiking war in Iran is “definitely worth it.”

DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“The writing is on the wall for Laurie Buckhout. While Buckhout is busy giving her seal of approval to extremist Republicans’ cost-raising agenda, Congressman Don Davis has been busy fighting for the hardworking families of Eastern North Carolina. Voters know Davis is a leader they can trust, and they’ll send him back to Congress in November.”
