Tillis' campaign manager says in a statement that they notified Cunningham and Spectrum (who hosted debate) after positive test results.
Shutting down campaign hq and halting in person events. Staffers quarantining and getting tests
Tillis had continued in-person campaigning (though his campaign says that will now halt). Cunningham had remained virtual. I got into these dynamics in my story last month, where I interviewed Tillis in NC and Cunningham via Zoom
@AndrewDesiderio Tidbit: Dems celebration was overtaken by horrible events at the Capitol yesterday. But some got a moment to soak it in: Stevie Wonder joined a Zoom w/ Warnock staffers Tuesday before race was called, but after it was clear he was poised to win
@AndrewDesiderio Ossoff talked about John Lewis on the campaign trail a lot. He called Lewis in Aug. 2019 to ask for endorsement weeks before launch.
In first week of Dec, he drove to Selma and filmed an ad on the Edmund Pettus Bridge invoking Lewis' life as a civil rights icon
Greenfield slightly above water, 40/36. But 24% don't know her, lot of room for definition in closing weeks.
Greenfield's slim advantage is behind big lead with independent voters (47-32) and women voters (53-33).
Greenfield also pulling 10% of those who say they voted Trump in 2016, compared to 2% of Clinton voters for Ernst. Something to watch, whether electorate polarizes more
Both candidates have continued to do in person events in the lead up to tomorrow's primary. AP reports that there was covid exposure at a GOP event last week.
Martha McSally narrowly outraised Mark Kelly in the first 15 days of this month, per their pre-primary reports. Kelly raised nearly $2.1 million, per report below. McSally raised nearly $2.2 million per previous tweet (total difference of about $79k)
NEW: Cory Gardner says an NRSC ad that went up last week attacking HIckenlooper should be pulled off air after he had a conversation with survivor of a 2017 home explosion, who called the ad "horrifying" and said it should be taken down.
The ad, which attacks Hickenlooper over the home explosion in the state in 2017, was condemned last week by Erin Martinez, who lost her husband and brother in the explosion and called the ad "horrifying"
Gardner's statement:
"I spoke to Erin Martinez today and expressed to her that I would not have personally run the ad and I hope the ad comes down. If I had the power to take down the ad I would."
The ad is run by NRSC IE, which cannot coordinate with campaigns.
