The White House knows that with midterms around the corner, they can't afford a slipup.

Maybe there aren't many POC in New Bern. They say he has 3 more stops to go so we will see.

(4,448 posts)7. Whites are very slim majority in New Bern
53%
Much less than the 77% nationwide
It's a small town, but very diverse in ethnicities as well as wealth.

You can bet everything he does in North Carolina is coordinated to make him look as professional and warm as possible.

Reading everything from a paper in front of him.

and he won the county vote by approximately 10,000 votes over Hillary, and there were only about 38,600. total votes in the county (1600 went to Gary Johnson and Jill Stein).
