A Democratic Senate nominee admitted Friday that he sent sexually suggestive text messages to a woman who is not his wife, but refused to drop out of the race for one of two seats representing North Carolina.

The National File website published texts between Cal Cunningham and the woman, showing they made plans to spend the night together.
