12:23Now PlayingBREAKING: HUGE NEWS For Kamala Harris In North Carolina.... (Trump Is PANICKING!)
Kamala Harris has now taken the lead in North Carolina's aggregate polling data, being up by .2 in a state that Biden lost by just shy of 1.5 points. There also appears to be evidence that there's a large demography shift happening in the state, with it being the third fastest growing state in the past few years.
Harris upended Trump’s electoral fortunes. Just look at North Carolina.
The state, which Trump won in both 2016 and 2020, had for months looked like an easy win.
Last month, Donald Trump and his team were still predicting blue states like Minnesota, Virginia, New Jersey and New Mexico could become battlegrounds this fall. Now, he’s shoring up a purple one.
On Wednesday, Trump made his third visit in four weeks to North Carolina — a state he won twice and where he was solidly leading President Joe Biden in polling over the last year.
Outside of his tightly secured rally, though — past the vendors hawking red caps and flags on the rural road leading to Trump’s event — Republicans admit that the changed dynamics of the race in North Carolina are striking. In interviews with several longtime GOP officials, operatives and strategists in the state, each said their money is still on Trump to win the state.
But they acknowledged that, as of now, such a victory would likely only be narrow. And they expressed concern about what the decreased Trump margins would mean for other down ballot races in the state, particularly Republicans’ efforts to flip the governor’s office.
Wearing a “Let’s Go Brandon” shirt at the rally, Geanie McDowell, 46, of Asheboro, said she’s concerned about the increasing difficulty to win the state with Harris at the top of the ticket.
“It’s become a tighter race. Now we’re worried Kamala might take the lead,” McDowell said, explaining that because “she’s younger, and she’s a woman,” Harris may appeal to some voters in a new way.
