A Florida area known for being a "hotbed of Trump support" is reportedly seeing a bump in enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday.
As Trump and Harris gear up to face one another in November's election, each candidate has made an effort to make inroads on the territories typicall...
Look, it’s great that she’s doing well but I hope that she won’t do what Hillary did and actually believe she’s got a snowball’s chance in fucking hell to win down there and screw over herself and America by trying to win over a place that’s a pipe dream.
I truly hope she doesn’t. I feel kinda naive thinking she won’t. I know the DNC is great at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Right fuck Florida, focus on NC instead
While better shot than Florida, NC is likely a lost cause. Went to Trump in both 2016 and 2020, has elected Robinson who is a not job to lieutenant governor… Yeah Cooper won it both times too but I can’t understand how he won elections that at the same time went to Trump, Tillis, and Robinson… They have some polls pitting the well liked Cooper against Trump and Cooper still lost in those polls.
Obama was the only one in 20 years to win the state and only his first term, and only barely.
I would be ecstatic to be wrong, but probably a bad bet for relatively fewer potential electoral votes than other uses of their effort.
As someone who lives in NC, we’re far more purple than you’d think, hell my county always goes blue
Sure, there are die hard blue countries, like Wake and Mecklenburg, but take a random exit off the freeways in rural areas and behold all the Trump number stickers, signs and flags that have been up basically since 2016 continuously.
Despite tending to elect Democrat governors, NC loves Republican senators, presidents, and lieutenant governors… It’s bizarre. As mentioned NC went to Obama in 2008 (Barely), but other than that it’s been a pretty comfortable win for Republican presidents for a long time.
The house and state legislators can be explained by the malicious districting, but the statewide elections also behave weird.
