The grieving father of a North Carolina woman who was shot and killed during a break-in pressed Attorney General Todd Blanche and GOP Sen.

Lindsey Graham.

prospects → tell → Congress
Darline Graham is in a race that has grown unexpectedly tight — she's defending the seat against Democrat Annie Andrews.

The Cook Political Report changed its rating of the race from "solid Republican" to "likely Republican."
asserted

"I wish I had a crystal ball, but I don't," Graham said, adding that Logan's Law "shouldn't be a red or blue issue — this is a common-sense issue to protect people."
"You're right, we've had six months or so [to get the bill passed]," Blanche said, adding, "This should pass."
asserted
