Four years later: Catching up with former U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham

Four years after his U.S. Senate race and personal turmoil collided, Democrat Cal Cunningham sits down with host Tim Boyum to open up about that period in his life. 

They talk about his affair with another woman, why he didn’t drop out and how it affected his defeat. They also break down the barbecue tweet that went viral, and why he says it made him more upset than just about anything else in the campaign. 

Later, you can listen to the stories between Cunningham and his then opponent Sen. Thom Tillis share several meals together, and just how difficult it is to be a moderate in today’s politics. Both agree that though they may disagree on many things, dialogue is important.
