Both Sherrill and Ciattarelli emerged from competitive primaries and began the general election campaign Wednesday with efforts to unify their parties.

WH PRESS SECRETARY: “The Trump administration is going to continue the mass deportation effort that the President promised the American public… It’s part of the reason we do need the One, Big, Beautiful Bill to pass… The bill provides funding to hire more ICE agents and Border Patrol agents.”
