Darn. Since I have no idea whether the winning formula for beating Moscow Mitch is moderate and women's appeal or progressive and Black enthusiasm, I was hoping for Charles "from the hood to the holler" Booker. Oh well, good luck, Amy, and keep fighting, Charles.

"Dr. Karen Berg defeated Republican candidate Bill Ferko by 14 points"!!!
Special elections tend to favor Repugs, something I would expect to be exacerbated by CV-19. I knew a Karen Berg in college, but she's a different one.
Charlotte misses out on visitor spending, but benefited from money already spent there.

Four weeks later, with coronavirus cases flaring across the state, the move may instead make it that much harder for Trump to win Florida’s 29 electoral votes ― votes that, if he loses them, would almost certainly guarantee his loss nationally.

When President Donald Trump first threatened to pull the Republican National Convention out of Charlotte, North Carolina, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida started campaigning to bring the event to his state.
