North Carolina End of Early In-Person Voting 🔴 2024: R+41,457 🔵 2026: D+343,548 Republicans did not win a single day of early voting. Even when high-propensity voters were red, those gains were overwhelmed by exceptionally blue turnout among less frequent voters.

After the votes are tallied on Tuesday, Republicans or Democrats will hold a majority of the seats in the General Assembly
We now rate the NC House a tossup. GOP favored to keep Senate, w/o a veto-proof majority. 16 races moved, all toward Dems. Likeliest outcome: neither chamber will be able to override Gov. on party lines with only GOP votes. Learn more: ncfree.org/partisan-district… #ncpol #ncga #ncleg

To be fair, Trump probably assumed they’d know fellow Michigander Michael Whatley

TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

The first Democratic presidential primary debate for the 2020 election was at the end of June 2019. That puts us at less than a year away from the first debates of the 2028 presidential primaries.
