Former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) has announced he will run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Sen. Richard Burr (R), who previously announced he wouldn’t seek re-election, in 2022.
McCrory released a campaign ad on Wednesday pitching himself as a defender of conservative values who would wrest control of the U.S. Senate from the Democratic Party and the political Left, to which the party is allegedly beholden (despite myriad evidence to the contrary). McCrory noted that, in the current chamber, split 50-50 between the parties, ties on major legislation are broken by Vice President Kamala Harris, who he attempts to paint as a bogeyman for conservative voters.
