The Harriz-Walz ticket is seeing growing excitement around their campaign and now they are focusing on the battleground states. North Carolina Democratic Party state chair Anderson Clayton and former Pennsylvania Democratic Party chairman Jim Burn join Ana Cabrera to share their political analysis.
On election night in 2008, a crowd gathered in our front yard in Carrboro, North Carolina, to watch the returns on a projector screen. The atmosphere was celebratory, with a hint of nervous uncertainty. Most people believed Barack Obama was about to become the first Black man elected president of the United States. Beverly Perdue was poised to become the first woman to serve as governor of North Carolina, and Kay Hagan seemed likely to defeat Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole. By 11 p.m.
North Carolina’s population is not only growing quickly; it is also getting older, probably due to the influx of retirees into the state’s coastal and mountain communities. From 2008 to 2020, the share of registered voters who were over 65 increased from 17% to over 21%. Turnout in that age group jumped from 72.6% in 2008 to a whopping 84% in 2020. And exit polls indicate that Trump won those voters by almost 20 points. Biden scored similar margins among young people.
