In the race for control of the Senate, there are signs that one state in particular is emerging as the key to the majority: North Carolina.
Over the past week, the two top Republican and Democratic super PACs focusing on Senate campaigns have booked nearly $50 million in fall ad reservations in North Carolina – nearly twice as much as the combined $25.7 million the two groups spent in Iowa, the state with the second highest investment.
The state is set for a general election match-up between Republican Sen. Thom Tillis and Democrat Cal Cunningham. Campaign aides and operatives on both sides of the aisle see the race as something of a bellwether for their parties' larger political fortunes.
