🚨 RATINGS CHANGE: Sabato’s Crystal Ball Shifts NC-03 in Democrats’ Direction

Non-partisan race rater Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball just shifted North Carolina’s 3rd Congressional District in Democrats’ direction – a strong sign that voters are ready for change and to elect someone who will fight for them.

The shift follows reporting that Republicans are worried about the seat and preparing to spend big to prop up their failing incumbent. Last year, desperate to hold the House, North Carolina Republicans redrew the congressional map mid-decade, the second time they’d rigged it in their favor.

A poll this summer showed Dr. Raymond Smith statistically tied with Greg Murphy, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball notes that Dr. Smith has “put some pressure” on Greg Murphy.

DCCC Spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre:
“North Carolinians are fed up with Greg Murphy, who has done nothing but make life harder and unaffordable for families. They’re tired of Greg Murphy, who voted to kick 46,000 North Carolinians off their health care. They’re tired of Greg Murphy, who’s using their hard-earned money to fund reckless foreign wars and tax breaks for billionaires. They’re tired of someone who fights for everyone but them. The polling is clear: this district is in play, momentum is on our side, and we’re going to flip this seat in November.”
