If you live in #NorthCarolina and aren’t following the Hometown Holler, you’re missing out. Best (left leaning) political commentary there is.

HA HA HA HA BERGER IS OFFICIALLY DONE!!!!
Now granted, Sam Page is nobody anyone should want near public office. Still, this is the NC equivalent of trading McCarthy for Johnson. They'll get a replacement but no one will be able to funnel wealthy donors to Senate races the way Berger could.
