The GOP has literally abandoned North Carolina. Silver lining is progressives are wondering why they felt the need to nominate such a strong candidate to run up the score when they could have gone with Samir assad-Halal bin Martinez-Goldberg of the DSA and still won by 6.
(To be fair progressives in florida are having the opposite feeling, since that's one of the few states out there where a flip still seems unlikely (along with like literally idaho), and they nominated some angry DSA black lady with an Abolish the Police forehead tattoo back in like July when it didn't seem like it would matter because winning FL was inconceivable.)
