GOP Rep. Ted Budd is trailing in polls and lagging in fundraising. According to audio from a recent donor event, Trump has noticed.
A separate poll, commissioned by the pro-Walker super PAC Awake Carolina, found Budd slipping even further. The survey, conducted by Ingress Research Group Feb. 27 and also obtained by POLITICO, found McCrory at 29 percent, Budd at 18 percent, Walker at 11 percent, Eastman at 4 percent and 35 percent still undecided. The firm polled 864 likely Republican primary voters using phone interviews and online questions, with a margin of error of 3.3 percent.
McCrory, who is portraying himself as a more moderate candidate, for being anti-Trump. As the pinch on Budd tightens — and as Club President David McIntosh has taken a close interest in the North Carolina primary — the group is now pouring millions more into ad buys, raising their initial pledge of $10 million to at least $14 million to support Budd.But after months of attacks against him that went unanswered on air, McCrory is now hitting back.
