ICYMI: Deborah Ross Builds on Momentum, "Biggest Riser in New Rankings" of Senate Seats Most Likely to Flip

Statement

In case you missed it, Politico just labeled Deborah and #NCSen as "the biggest riser in the rankings" of Senate seats most likely to flip.

Statement from Cole Leiter, Ross press secretary:

"North Carolinians are ready for a change from politics as usual and Deborah's message of putting the people ahead of the powerful special interests is clearly resonating with voters. People in our state are ready for a Senator they can trust to stand up for them and put their interests first. Deborah Ross is ready to answer that call."

ICYMI: Politico Pro: Senate race ranking: Trump tilting the map

Donald Trump's hostile takeover of the Republican Party is boosting Democratic hopes of retaking the Senate in the fall -- and giving the competitive map a slight scramble. Strategists wonder whether lily-white states like New Hampshire and Missouri might now look a bit safer for the GOP, while Republicans running in regions with significant shares of Latino and other minority voters may have more electoral backlash to fear." The biggest riser in the new rankings? GOP Sen. Richard Burr's seat in North Carolina, which goes from 10th to 8th-most likely to flip.

8. North Carolina

North Carolina was a Senate afterthought earlier this year, but its diversity is prompting Democrats to give Burr's seat a fresh look as they figure out their fall priorities. Priorities USA's $9 million buy in the state is evidence of that, and Burr has low name identification. Democrats believe the Senate race is within the margin of error.
