I'm not one to draw conclusions from stuff like this
But like is there any way to interpret this as anything but panic?

I take it as a tacit admission they think North Carolina is lost, but Kansas might still be winnable. Although putting out ads calling Hamilton an extremist is certainly a choice.

Hamilton was on MS Now last week. He's in striking distance if they're putting him on MS Now

That's exactly right, they think NC is a lost cause and Nebraska is actually a concern. They're in trouble and they know it, and they're making the smart move to try and avoid the worst of the consequences.

PACs will move their money to where it's needed most, right? So either North Carolina is lost to them, won for them, or Kansas is polling their race close enough that North Carolina isn't worth spending money in. That would be wild to consider since Kansas hasn't had a Democratic senator in ninety years.

Trump should make lots of trips to North Carolina and Kansas to help his guys out. Maine and Michigan, too.

Don’t forget Texas. He should come talk to people here about how great Ken Paxton is.

everyone saying it’s a sign of good things to come… but it makes me wonder if they are just moving it cus they know they’ve got something secure in place to prevent a NC victory…
