North Carolina going to be one of the more interesting results next week. Dem Josh Stein will be elected Gov.
Wasn't expected to be blue for president until Harris showed up, then Hurricane Helene messed with things and we were back to lean red.
Donald's team is now very nervous about NC, he's going there every day. Team Harris is hopeful, she did a big rally in Charlotte yesterday. Jamie Harrison has been there all week, which tells me he thinks it is 100% in play.
She could win it.
We'll see.
Why did Helene cause a shift to lean red?
The disinformation campaign by MAGA politicians including Trump had some impact. Also just a fear that voter turnout would be weaker. It's not looking that way so far.

FWIW, I think Polymarket (a betting site?) just swung from Trump to Harris.
No , it did not.

And polymarket is Peter Thiel junk.
…” included investments from Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, and Founders Fund, a venture capital firm founded by Peter Thiel.”
Vitalik Buterin
Vitaly Dmitrievich Buterin, born 1994 Kolomna, Russia. Family moved to Canada when he was 6.
“… dropped out of university in 2014 when he was awarded with a grant of US$100,000… from the Thiel Fellowship”
“… he met with President Vladimir Putin on 2 June 2017, at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). Putin stated that he ‘supported the idea of establishing ties with possible Russian partners’"
However Buterin has spoken out against the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and ”…donated crypto to projects supporting the country and endorsed projects helping Ukraine through ‘cryptophilanthropy.’”
