A little color commentary on NC.
First, the good news. I think the initial Dem surge has reached its apex. Rs have a lot more 4/4 voters left, and there are already signs of regional success possible if the Senate race isn’t competitive.
The bad news - Dems pulled a D+29 split yesterday thanks to which counties were and were not open. By my count, 58 counties were closed yesterday, overwhelmingly Republican. Only two meaningful Dem vote counties were closed - Forsyth and Guilford.
That means that most of the D+29 yesterday came out of Mecklenburg, Wake, Durham, and Buncombe Counties.
The northeastern district, NC-1, looks winnable for Rs given that it is a Trump +11 redraw that relies on heavy black turnout in an area that has been fading for Dems for a decade. I think it looks better than NC-11, where Asheville is (at least for now) blowing through its high prop voters and the red areas are sitting around closed for the weekend.
These selective openings (which I believe we will see in GA today) probably ought to be addressed by the legislature and I do remember bringing this up in 2024 when Dems would make up huge ground in NC/GA when reds were watching football.
Either way, I suspect NC will trend toward competition beginning early this week.

Wake GOP and Turning Point Action's Super Chase event was a success despite the rain. @RepKnott, SD 18 candidate Chris Stock, @mikefor35 , Wake Clerk of Superior Court candidate Joe Teague and Wake Commissioner candidate Gary Hartong gave inspirational remarks before canvassing.

You can tell Winn Decker just moved to Southern Wake County to run for Erin Pare's seat, because running on sex changes for kids and legally forcing people to use manufactured pronouns isn't going to sit well with HD 37. Welp, at least he's being honest about one thing. @NCGOP @NCHouseGOP

I told you 400k followers ago that you had the ability to use your voice to help move the needle.
Have you publicly supported @WhatleyNC yet?
How "done" are you, Matt.
Seems like Cooper winning might bum you out but...
Yeah, I'm done.
I'm done being tolerant.
I've seen enough man... these people clearly hate us.
They hate our country, they hate our families, they hate our society, they steal our tax dollars, they don't learn our language, they attack us...
Why are we putting up with this?!

Christians, get off your blessed assurance.
Too many professing Christians don't vote. Even many who are registered.
About 7 in 10 North Carolina adults call themselves Christian. Roughly 6 million people. In 2024, about 5.7 million North Carolinians voted, total. Could you imagine what we could do if we all showed up to vote?
Don't let the media scare you into doing nothing. So many sacrificed for our right to vote and our freedom of religion.
We must get out and vote our witness.

⛽🇺🇸 GREAT NEWS! RELIEF AT THE PUMP!
North Carolina Republicans paused the state gas tax through November, while President Trump is also bringing diesel tax relief through December!
@RobertBurnsNC explains why this is a welcome development for working families and seniors living on fixed incomes.
🔥 Keeping more money in Americans' pockets shouldn't be a partisan issue!

⏰CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) is being investigated by the federal government for its support of terrorist groups Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Some states have designated the group as a terrorist and transnational criminal organization.
We knew Wake Senator Haseeb Fatmi has been endorsed by CAIR but were a little shocked to find out the group is heavily invested in North Carolina races, including General Assembly and school board in Wake.
CAIR's list is lengthy but highlights include endorsements of Winn Decker running for Erin Pare's seat, Rep Julie von Haefen (Mary Insprucker's opponent) and School Board candidate for District 7 Maddie Segal (Democrat Amita Gupta and Republican Jacob Arthur's opponent), School Board candidate District 1 Jasmine Zavala (Bonnie Greave's opponent) School Board Chair and candidate for District 9 Tyler Swanson (Cheryl Alexis' opponent) and School Board member and candidate District 3 Christina Gordon (Ann Shubarg's opponent.)
We know many of these have been endorsed by far-left activist groups but terrorism is another issue.
