CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Republican Rep. Ted Budd is “MIA on the campaign trail,” the N.C. Democratic Party said in an August email to supporters.
Budd, who’s running for U.S. Senate, is “in hiding,” former Gov. Pat McCrory, one of Budd’s primary competitors, told Spectrum News in August.
“Where’s Ted Budd?” has emerged as a popular question among observers of North Carolina’s U.S. Senate race, particularly among Democrats. The answer, though, may be that Budd’s right where he wants to be.
