Cunningham concedes to U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis in North Carolina
LA TimesDemocrat Cal Cunningham conceded to incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis in North Carolina on Tuesday, saying “the voters have spoken” and it was clear Tillis had won. “I just called Sen. Tillis to congratulate him on winning reelection to a second term in the U.S. Senate and wished him and his family the best in their continued service in the months and years ahead,” Cunningham said. “The voters have spoken, and I respect their decision.” Cunningham lost despite outraising Tillis during what became the most expensive U.S. Senate race in U.S. history. “I am incredibly humbled by the chance to serve the people of North Carolina in the United States Senate for six more years, and I pledge to continue keeping my promises and delivering results.”
