A text-message scandal has reshaped the Senate contest in North Carolina, as Republicans ramp up criticism of Democrat Cal Cunningham and Democrats try to manage the fallout in a race that had been leaning his way
A personal scandal has reshaped the pivotal Senate contest in North Carolina, as Republicans ramp up their criticism of Democratic candidate Cal Cunningham and Democrats try to manage the fallout in a race that had been leaning his way.
Mr. Cunningham, who is married, apologized for the flirtatious and sexually suggestive text messages he exchanged with a public-relations strategistThe strategist, Arlene Guzman Todd, said this week in a statement to the Associated Press that her relationship with Mr. Cunningham “spanned several months and consisted primarily of a series of text exchanges and an in-person encounter.” Ms. Guzman Todd couldn’t be reached for comment.
The Army Reserve, in which Mr. Cunningham serves, said this week it had opened an investigation into the matter without providing more detail. In many circumstances, adultery violates military rules, and the Cunningham campaign has said it would cooperate with the investigation. The developments have given Sen. Thom Tillis and his campaign fresh ammunition in the closing weeks of the race, which polls had shown Mr. Cunningham leading.
