that know miss beasley and those that know me.he north carolina fraternal order of police, the police benevolent association, the north carolin troopers association. those are ones that it once indoors hurt and by and large, these are statewide organizations and now they are supporting me. so encourage your viewers to go out to the website and take a look at why they supported me. read their press releases. look at their history with miss beasley, including. throwing out indictments for offenders and defending cop killers. again, i would take their word for it and not miss beasley's. this leads into our next question about crime and guns. something we also heard about on the campaign trail a lot, mister, but you've talked extensively on the campaign trail about crime. >> how neighborhoods of turn to battlefields as you called it on the campaign trail. so what is your plan to combat that? and also do support any kind of gun reform at all. any seconds we'll go with firearms is to protect our second amendment while keeping them out o

>> i think to continue what beasley's been doing.s a north carolina-based campaign. the fact that there hasn't been a ton of money in the last two or three months has been to they are benefit, because it's allowed her to introduce and create a relationship with voters based on her record as a judge. based on somebody who approaches things from an independent lens and makes a decision based on law. i think that's what voters are looking for somebody independent. i think people have to take budd, we talked about beasley being the first african american in 26 years. ted budd is a throwback to jesse helms, the most conservative nominee in of the last 26 years. it's incredible contrast for voters. >> morgan says incredible contrast. richard burr, same thing as in the cliff, budd linked the democrat to an unpopular president, is that enough? >> it's not enough. what he's doing you learn about politics watching college football. watching north carolina, you see the ads that cheri beasley is running and what ted budd is running. he's running

judge beasley: prices are too high. north carolinians are hurting.are feeling everything from pain at the pump to the cost of prescription drugs and everything in between. we live in the greatest country in the world and people should not have to try to decide between buying groceries and school supplies and high-priced medications. this is our top economic issue. it does not have to be this way. congress can take steps to lower prices. we know that we need to lower drug prices. here in america we pay more for prescription drugs than anywhere else in the country. we also know we must make sure corporations are not price gouging. we know that corporations are seeing 70 year record profits and using that as a cover for inflation and jacking up prices. congress can stop that but congressman ted budd has not stopped that. he is helping it. he has voted against lowering drug prices and gas prices while taking corporate money from oil and drug companies. it is important we work very hard and fight hard to lower costs because that is exactly what everybody

miss beasley, thank you for being here. do believe that every senate race is the most important senate race in the country, but your race, in the last closing week of the campaign, it has been the thing that democrats are quite focused on. we know that senator schumer's pac has funneled, i think, $4 million into your campaign in recent days. what has your correspondents been with national democrats as you seek to perhaps help them hold on to the upper chamber? >> we have been focused on our in state, people power campaign. we knew this was gonna be a tough race, we have had tough fights before and i will not back down now. i am thankful that i had two successful contested statewide elections here in north carolina, and we are doing really well. there is a lot of enthusiasm and we've been traveling to a all of our one hundred counties around the state talking about the things people care lot about. they care about lowering costs, and they're feeling everything from the pain at the pump to the cost of prescription drugs and e

that race is coming down to democratic canned sherry beasley and ted bud.eeply polarized congress, richard burn is calling tom till is, from time to time, voted with democrats on gun reform, infrastructure, and certifying the 2020 election. but representative ted budd is not that kind of lawmaker. he is one of the most conservative members in the house with a 98% lifetime score from heritage action and the club for growth. congressman budd voted against the infrastructure law. he voted against same sex marriage protections and against gun safety. those are some of the about ills that some of the republican colleagues have supported. instead, he co-sponsored a bill that would ban abortions nigs wide after 15 weeks of pregnancy and he voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election on january 6. at this point, the one person standing in ted budd's way, in the path to the senate, is sherry beasley. who will be the first black woman to ever represent north carolina in the upper chamber. she is a former district state judge and court of appeals judge and serv

what i will say about share beasley, she's a strong candidate. the money that is pouring into this race. you might have more money pouring into pennsylvania and georgia and nevada and other places where you do have republicans that are a little, you know, they're problematic. i can't find a pc way to put it. but she is raising money. and she is widening the fund-raising gap, which is important in the final weeks because she can spend that money on television. she can spend that money to turn out voters. with all of these races, all of these races will be close and it will be a turn-out game. that's critical for her in order to remain at the top there. >> that's a surprise as somebody who could be the first black woman senator out of north carolina you are not hearing more. and the qualifications. you want to say something. >> no, exactly. that's the thing. you are not hearing more. north carolina is my home state. i'm watching this race with interest. i think beasley has run a fine race but not a race that compelled voters to come out. that's why

that was a conversation that democrats cheri beasley, made some of the most effective arguments in. people in north carolina, seek to react really positively to. their argument essentially being that as a supporter of access to abortion. reproductive rights. she is more in line with north carolina eons and the voting age population. then her opponent is. he really shine when it came to things like inflation, the economy, pocketbook issues and crime. and then sort of waffled on his views around abortion. and what exactly, what kind of restrictions or ideal legislation he would be looking for. take a listen to what happened last night. >> i have denounce violence from day one. whether it's at washington d.c. or whether it is the riots that my opponent was encouraging all across our state and our across the country in 2020. i believe whether it's in washington, d.c. at the capitol or whether it's downtown raleigh or downtown charlotte. i will denounce violence, and i will encourage my opponent to do the same thing. >> congressman but has been very clear and i said that she supports and

to follow as kids and even then little minor and the courts of just to make use of them is without beasley. ok. so this is me without a filter. this is me pick filter. it's a lie. i me in saddam is a big deal and today's stand specially for i don't stand after is you know, so i try very much to make it very and begin to make most of my sure sand for assured sand are my work. it's because i'm on i i had different engagement. good luck was when i just all that they've been misdelivered on. i me. yeah. i if even bell rebecca then. oh yeah, it's a, it's a dime of influenza zang inst. again, a game that model. ok. so i keep getting a lot of stuff in my parking lot of items. my mom, the why is this late, you know, and these i sound like it probably may when it will lead. i thought i thought i thought for high school soc milligan, isn't that you think is unable cha, electronic organic. it give any sense? oh, i know. but look, i got a new i've been ah ha ha ha, a go for a year ago. got a val mobile a only a dealer with so i'm back from the bar and this time i come with so much of the content and b

the matchup again is beasley versus budd, but let's show you the 2020 presidential election in northina. yeah, it was a trump state, it was close. remember, we did not call this thing for a long time in 2020. donald trump's margin was about 75,000 votes here, 1. 3 points. i think notably, that was down from 2016. in 2016, trump won the state by 175,000 votes, green happens, so democrats did not win north carolina in 2020, but they made progress, got a very close, and they made republican sweat. i think the backdrop in a way for the senate race in 2022, from the republican standpoint, they expect to hold a seat. this has been stubbornly close so far, for more on what is playing out in north carolina, nbc's antonia hylton joins us now from raleigh. a little bit more than two weeks to go to election day. we keep seeing polls that show a close race there in north carolina. what are some of the dynamics shaping the race, we should be looking for in the closing weeks? >> a, steve, north carolina will be really fascinating, and it's interesting to me just how much people have slept on this

the followers keys and even then little minor and the courts of justice making instagram and so now beasley on. so this is maybe that filter. this is me. vick finter. it's a lie. i me and saddam is a big deal than today stand specially for i didn't stand after a you know, so i tried very much to make it very i begin with most of my sure sand for assured sand on my war. he would he speak to someone i i id haven't gotten good luck was when i just on that they been misdelivered when i me yeah i if even bill rebecca then oh, this is a dime of influenza zang instigated a game like model. ok, so i keep getting a lot of stuff in my parking lot. the items my mom are the why is this late? you know, and these are all i get for free. we really will lay and i had to pull out that for her school. soc milligan is a 1000 you think is unable cha, electronic organic it give any sense? oh no. my blog. i got a new i've been ah versa. no way of a go for you. my dog. a mobile a huh? the only a dealer. with so i'm back from the bar and this time i gone with so much of the content and blessings as well. all the b

and even then middle when i have the course of just making them use an beasley. ok. so this is maybe that filter. this is me pick filter. it's a lie. i me and saddam is a big deal than today's time, especially for i didn't stand after a you know, so i tried very much to make it very i begin to make most of my sure sand for assured sand on my war. he would he speak to someone i hired that indictment? good luck was when i met i just on that they've been misdelivered on. i me. yeah i if even bill rebecca then the policy is a dime of influenza zang instigated a game like model. ok, so i keep getting a lot of stuff in my parking lot for items. my mom, the why is this late? you know, and these are all i get for free. mary will lead another or her school soft milligan is without you and it is on a good child according to our good. and it is an expensive. oh, oh no bite. no got a new i've been ah ha ha ha ha, a go for you. my dog. a mobile a huh? the only a a with so i'm back from the bar and this. so i gone with so much of the content and blessings as well. all the business

sherry beasley lost the supreme court race in 2020 by 401 votes.s, if black voters across the board maximize our numbers, we could actually change the south, the midwest, the southwest, and the east. that's what i'm also arguing, not just black men. >> yeah, that makes sense. barack obama now is out here in some ways playing a role that joe biden maybe can't play, particularly because joe biden as we've discussed is balancing empathy, awareness of what the country is going through -- can't just sort of write that off -- while also campaigning. obama is hitting the republicans for democracy while also saying, hey, the be worse. here's what he said in what's his first media appearance in quite some time. >> given how at last republican officials have behaved, they increasingly are willing to subvert basic democratic procedures. and it's a reminder that democracy is fragile, that you have to tend to it, fight for it, and this midterm election i think is going to be a moment in which that battle has to be joined, and that means people have to turn out.

so just to make use of them use an beasley. ok. so this is maybe that filter. this is mean big filter. it's a lie i me, in system is a big deal in today's time, especially for an instant after, you know, so i tried very much to make it very elegant with most of my sure sand afford assured sand on my work. you did speak to someone i hired as an engagement. good luck was when i just on i never miss a liberty one. i me? yeah, i yeah. i if he be able to back and then the policy is a dime of influenza van insignificant game like model. ok. so i keep getting a lot of stuff in my parking lot. i don't my mom or the what is this late, you know? and these are all i get for free. we really will lead another or her school soc milligan, a good job according to all good. okay. and give any sense or? ah ah ah ah ah, with no like no, i got a new out of the way a go with my buddy a only done my job i i do i think with so i'm back from the bar and this time i come with so much of for content and blessings, as well as all of your business up with my mom and dad and family and bus

now, beasley has a pro criminal history on the bench. she also amplified the violent rioting in the summer of 2020. she has made it clear she is a sure vote for the democrats antipolice defund, dismantle, no pro crime agenda. and this race is tight as of now, ted, but is in the lead. and he joins us right now. north carolina republican senate candidate and congressman ted bud. all right. you're ahead in this race, but it's closer than it should be . and what i'm noticing is a trend, and that is that only now are people beginning to catch up with the the radicalism of candidates that the democrats are running. do you think the people in north carolina are fully aware of her record on? most people out there aren't really political and they're just trying to make their lives work, especially under what joe biden has done to them in the last two years. gas is more expensive, groceries are more expensive. it's harder. it just cost, as you said earlier, seventy two hundred dollars more for the average family out there. but now they're seeing w

here in north carolina make it so that it's ted budd's wrist to lose, certainly, people in gerry beasley'sfeel confidence that they can still pull it off. jim clyburn was here, democrats are still spending millions of dollars here. this is still really a paragraphs. >> all right antonio hilton in north carolina's capital city, thank you for taking a few minutes to join us tonight, appreciate it. again, our here a battleground states, we'll continue now back into the calm of democratic held seats that republicans are targeting. this is the one, the only one who see that is covered in red right now. this is the only democratic seat, nevada, where republicans currently lead in the polling average. that's adam laxalt, the republican challenger to democratic senator catherine cortez masto. he leads in the polling. if republicans can make this actually happen in the election, and if, big if here, if they can defend all the seats that they already hold, that would be enough to give republicans control of the u.s. senate. it could come down to this race in nevada. so, in early voting by the way, s

sherry beasley in north carolina, she's saying maybe i can get a little more support here.oman we profiled, said she did not want an endorsement from former president trump, she doesn't want to have anything to do with him. that's a tough place to be in the republican party where trump is the leader, and has that big grip on the party. so it's complicated politics when it comes to the republican party and black people. >> i'm glad you mentioned sherry beasley down in north carolina. that's a race i'm not convinced is getting the attention it deserves. we have to leave it there. thank you for sharing that reporting for us. and thank you for watching this hour of msnbc. i'm garrett haake.
