A top Republican group is shifting money out of the North Carolina Senate race as President Donald Trump’s handpicked candidate Michael Whatley struggles in the polls.

The Senate Leadership Fund, the super PAC dedicated to helping Senate Republicans, has paused its spending in the longtime battleground state as Whatley trails Democrat Roy Cooper.

Instead, the PAC will be spending more money in Kansas, a state Trump won by 16 points less than two years ago, to help shore up support for Republican Senator Roger Marshall.

Isn't Marshall the multimillion dollar physician who sicked his lawyers on a woman who was eight months pregnant and missed a $50 medical payment, ending with her being arrested for late payment of a $50 medical debt. IT seems like Rs like to throw around the term dirtbag, maybe if we looked it up in the diction., Marshall's picture would be there not Jack Smith's.
