Wake County I have to say I have no hope for North Carolina. We are a stupid bipolar state that doesn't know which way to go politically which is evident by the ticket splitting in voting for a Democratic governor but voting for Trump for president. The worst part about the 2024 election is that it showed to me that North Carolina had regressed politically because Trump got 50.86 percent of the vote which gave him the majority of the vote unlike the 2 other times, he won North Carolina by getting a plurality around 49 percent. That shows North Carlina has become a redder state. Obama winning here in '08 was a fluke. 2028 will mark 20 years since a Democratic presidential candidate won the state of NC.
