Republican Midterm Convention & Three Battleground States | McKoon, Simmons, Grogan

A 645,000-voter Democrat registration edge in North Carolina is gone. Three Republican state party chairmen explain what actually moved on the ground.
Jenny Beth Martin opens on the one year anniversary of the loss of her friend Charlie Kirk, with the three things she believes honor him best: study the founding principles, live your faith, and love your family. Then she goes state by state with the party chairmen of Georgia, Illinois and North Carolina, recorded in the days before the first Republican National Convention ever held in a midterm year.
Guests: Josh McKoon, Chairman of the Georgia Republican Party; Jason Simmons, Chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party; Bob Grogan, Chairman of the Illinois Republican Party.
Today's topics:
Jason Simmons on the registration flip in North Carolina: Democrats held a 645,000-voter advantage in 2016 and Republicans hold the advantage today
Josh McKoon on the 400,000 low propensity Georgia voters his party has targeted, and why he thinks this election comes down to five or ten thousand votes

Bob Grogan on why the Chicago Bears are leaving Illinois for Indiana, and the 300 million dollar annual tax bill their new stadium would have carried
Seven members of the Chicago City Council now sit in the Democratic Socialists of America caucus, and Grogan says governance has to start mattering
Illinois was ground zero for the Tea Party movement, and roughly 20 of the 27 original group leaders left the state inside five years

Charlie Kirk was from Illinois, and Grogan on the thing he did that conservatives keep forgetting to do
