Leading Democratic and Republican “super PACs” that focus on Senate races said in March they are investing a combined $47.4 million in ad buys in North Carolina this year, more than they have planned for any other state so far. Under federal law, super political action committees can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money, unlike candidates, but cannot coordinate their efforts with a candidate’s campaign.

Republicans will fight hard to protect their majority. They highly value the Senate’s power in confirming lifetime judicial appointments, and managed to pick up Senate seats in 2018 even as they suffered heavy House losses. Both Trump and Tillis appear to have lost support in North Carolina opinion polls during the coronavirus pandemic, said David McLennan, a political science professor at Meredith College in Raleigh. The state has more registered Democrats than Republicans, with about a third of voters unaffiliated.

Tillis “sat quietly while Donald Trump called it a hoax,” Cunningham said, referring to Trump’s comments about the coronavirus in late February.

The rest of the country needs to stay out of it. Donations that cross state lines should be illegal.
