CNN's Dana Bash: NC election shows Trump, Republicans are building 'unbelievably huge' war chest to drive rural voter turnout

CNN's Dana Bash said Wednesday that the special congressional election in North Carolina shows that President Trump's reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee (RNC) have been building "an unbelievably huge war chest" in an effort to maximize rural voter turnout in 2020.
"If that is a swing district, a district that has been held by a Republican since 1963, show me a safe district," Bash, the network's chief political correspondent, noted on "New Day," referring to Tuesday's special election in North Carolina, where Republican Dan Bishop narrowly defeated Democrat Dan McCready in a district that has voted Republican since 1963.
"Yes. A win is a win. This is another red flashing warning sign about the suburbs and the people who live in the suburbs, because this is largely suburban, not entirely, largely suburban, and people who live in the suburbs and what this means for President Trump going forward," Bash said.
