That\u2019s why we need strong leaders to step forward. Leaders who will do what\u2019s right instead of what\u2019s easy. Leaders who will fight for you,\u201d Obama said in the video.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m supporting Cheri Beasley for U.S. Senate. Cheri was a public defender, a judge, and the first African American woman to serve as Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cCheri works hard. She\u2019s honest. And most importantly, she always puts people first. In the Senate, Cheri will fight to make healthcare and prescription drugs more affordable and protect our fundamental rights, from the right to vote to a woman\u2019s right to control her own body. This is going to be a close race and we can\u2019t afford to get it wrong,\u201d Obama concluded as he told voters to cast their ballots early or on November 8.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Beasley\u2019s campaign has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/obama-endorses-beasley-north-carolina-senate-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> it is set to push Obama\u2019s ad across the state in a six-figure ad buy. It is unclear if the former president plans to go to North Carolina to hit the campaign trail with Beasley, although he scheduled to stump for Democrats in Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada as the midterm elections close in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Obama\u2019s involvement in the North Carolina Senate race could signify how Democrats feel about the prospects of Republicans taking the Senate and the House of Representatives. In recent weeks, the tide has shifted towards Republicans in polling data as the GOP focuses on economic issues such as record-high inflation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In FiveThirtyEight\u2019s average <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/polls\/senate\/2022\/north-carolina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">polling<\/a>, Budd is leading Beasley 46.7% to 44.1% and appears ahead in several polls collected by the outlet. Real Clear Politics\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/2022\/senate\/NorthCarolina.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">average<\/a> also has Budd up 3.7 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The race has been close over the election season, and political experts on both sides believe the end result will be decided by a couple of percentage points, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/senate\/3699022-democrat-beasley-looks-to-close-gap-with-budd-in-north-carolina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hill<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cNorth Carolina is a true purple state. Thirty percent of our voters are registered Republicans, 34 [percent] are registered as Democrats, 35 percent are registered as unaffiliated voters,\u201d state Republican Chairman Michael Whatley told the outlet. \u201cFifty-two to 48 is a landslide in North Carolina.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Barack Obama endorsed North Carolina Senate Democratic candidate Cheri Beasley on Tuesday as she faces Republican opponent Rep.
