Provocative
- North Carolina has 16 electoral votes that are important for candidates.
- Democrats have historically struggled to win in North Carolina, achieving only two victories in the last 13 elections.
- With shifting demographics and record early voting turnout, the state remains a critical focus for the Democratic Party.
North Carolina is a battleground state with 16 electoral votes at stake in the 2024 election. Historically, Democrats have had limited success here, winning only twice in the last 13 elections, with their last victory in 2008. Recent shifts in demographics, particularly the influx of college-educated white voters near Raleigh and a significant Black population, present new opportunities for the Democratic campaign. Despite the devastation from Hurricane Helene, which impacted voting locations, early voting turnout reached record levels in the affected areas. The state is poised to play a crucial role in this election cycle.
