Ted Budd launches North Carolina Senate bid by aligning himself with Trump and kissing his big rump

Rep. Ted Budd launched his North Carolina Senate campaign on Wednesday, aligning himself with former President Donald Trump in a 2022 bid for the crucial seat.

The congressman, who was first elected in 2016, had been widely expected to run to replace the retiring GOP Sen. Richard Burr. He joins a growing primary field including former Gov. Pat McCrory and former US Rep. Mark Walker.

Budd announced his decision in a video featuring a monster truck called the "liberal agenda crusher," clips of Trump praising Budd, and attacks on the Left.

He charged that Democratic leaders in Washington were "shredding our Constitution," creating an "unprecedented crisis" at the US-Mexico border, "cutting" American jobs and "mortgaging our children's future" by adding to the debt. He warned that the Senate is "the last line of defense" against the US becoming a "woke socialist wasteland."
