Buckle up and brace for impact.
According to The Carolina Journal, Harris is not abandoning the Tar Heel State, but is now focusing her energy on the Raleigh market, where she leads former President Donald Trump.
Focus on the area with the most voters and keep GröpenFührer throwing money at the state.
Also early voting is showing the 55% of the voters are women compared to 44% men. That could be a good sign for Harris.
She and Walz are still campaigning there. It’s not like they’re completely giving up. It sounds more like this is a redirect rather than completely pulling out.
There was no way NC was going to vote for her. They’ll reject the batshit crazy governor, but they won’t vote for a Democratic President.
Look at the history:
2020 - Trump
2016 - Trump
2012 - Romney
2008 - Obama
2004 - Bush
2000 - Bush
1996 - Dole
1992 - Bush
1988 - Bush
1984 - Reagan
1980 - Reagan
1976 - Carter
1972 - Nixon
1968 - NixonWomen are leading the early voting 55% to 44%.
Don’t count her out just yet, homey.
Anecdotal, I live in NC and know 3 registered Republicans so far who have cast their votes for Harris, I am “Unaffiliated” and voted for Harris. All of us ended up voting straight Dem on the whole ballot because there is so much crazy on our ballots this year.
The Republicans I know are never Trumpers and just don’t want to give up on the fantasy of what they think the party is supposed to be.
I’m Unaffiliated because in NC you can choose which primary you want to vote when you show up. And sometimes I feel like I can do more good voting in the Republican primary, but other years have voted in the Dem primary.
My point, I’m hoping so hard there are a lot of Rino’s and Unaffiliated early voting Harris, Stein, Jackson.
Conservative women still won’t vote for a Democrat.
Just need a few here and a few there, and it’s doable.
The current tally:
33% Dem
34% Rep
33% Other.
It’s definitely doable.
It’s also difficult to believe that statistically significant numbers of registered Democrats would vote for Trump, while it wouldn’t be a surprise for statistically significant numbers of registered Republicans voting for Harris.
It’s low odds for sure, but early turnout is high. NC is always a tug-of-war between urban and rural, so this is nothing new and why they’re concentrating on the populated areas. Between good turnout, potential Republicans showing up but not voting for Trump necessarily, and hopefully limited disfranchising of voters in certain demographic areas like in the past…it’s not over. And hey, anything helps the popular vote count regardless.
Obama’s win in 2008 was close and not a cakewalk either.
