I doubt the GCB won't be as high as R+11, even in this environment, but Beasley obviously has a big hill to climb. Budd is a particularly meh candidate but unfortunately he doesn't seem to have any outstanding major flaws like most of the rest of the GOP recruits
NC-SEN isn't the only Major Race in that State. Republicans are leading comfortably in both State Supreme Court Races and those Races will help Budd because it will drive up Republican Turnout.
If Republicans win both Races the Congressional Map done by the more liberal Court this year will be thrown out.
