Lived in NC a while back, but I'll make a prediction

[paleotn]

Cheri Beasley will swing a Senate seat to the Dems. Budd isn't pulling nearly enough votes from the purple or even red counties. It's over. I believe she's won.

[GreenWave]

1. Yeah paleotn!

Hope so!

[spooky3]

2. Oh I hope you are right! Nt

[FloridaBlues]

3. That will shock Republican world!! Yes please.

[Claustrum]

4. Crossing my fingers you are right. With PA, we might keep the senate or gain a seat. n/t

[Demsrule86]

5. God I hope so...

[W_HAMILTON]

6. From your mouth to god's ears!

It definitely is looking good there thus far, probably better than I was expecting at this point.

I wish NYT still had their needle, haha.

[dweller]

7. Yes, but they won't call it

for a Dem until 75%’votes are in by my est.

[paleotn]

14. Probably, but she's leading hugely in New Hanover...Wilmington....

Heavy ex military presence there. If Budd can't at least get it close in New Hanover, Cumberland (Fayetteville), Chatham County (Pittsboro - Raleigh Durham exburb), he's in trouble. He's barely squeaking it out in Alamance County. All are routinely purple.

[dweller]

18. Chatham will go blue

Count on it



✌🏻

8. If Beasley wins in NC that will be all we talk about.

Even if the House goes to Republicans.

Because House seats have been very effectively gerrymandered.

9. I lived in NC for years and Mr Bear grew up there.

It’s a remarkable place. Could easily go either way.

[MoonchildCA]

10. Please be correct.

[RockRaven]

11. Would be huge if it happened...

[Willis88]

12. Nice! Hope you're right.

[msongs]

13. I forgot biden barely lost NC so plenty of dems if they vote nt

[paleotn]

16. I know a couple of ex Vermonters who've moved down there the last 4 years.....

And I guarantee they voted blue. NC is changing. Like VA, it gets bluer every year.

[Thrill]

15. If she's up and Charlotte (Mecklenburg County) and Wake County

Haven’t come in. I agree with you, he’s in trouble.

But if they have, it’s hard to tell

[W_HAMILTON]

17. You can look at this detailed link and tell us what you think:

19. Please goddesses, let this happen! nt

20. Follow NC results at this link

https://er.ncsbe.gov/?election_dt=11/08/2022&county_id=0&office=FED&contest=0

I think she can do it.

Dems may also pick up a new House seat.

[roamer65]

21. I think we are gonna gain seats in the Senate.

22. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

23. Grew up in NC and my childhood bestie spent

the last 2 weekends canvassing in her blood-red county, bless her. She and her canvass mate did this in her car with a Biden/Harris bumper sticker still on it. That takes courage.

Anyway, the highlight was last weekend canvassing a Brazilian who was busy celebrating Lula’s win. The most unnerving point was going up a long narrow mountain road to a home in a clearing to be met by a group of young men on bikes, one holding a gun. They said the person they were looking for didn’t live there, or wasn’t there, and my friend reported she turned quickly and head back down the mountain. The guys immediately got on their bikes, with guns, and followed them, okay ‘escorted’ them, down the road.

She drove conservatively down but reported an extra press of the gas petal once in the clear!

Go Beasley!

[paleotn]

25. I use to live "on the mountain" and agree THAT takes courage....

Wonderful place to live until Trump. It's a whole different world on and off "the mountain."

[llmart]

24. This would be fantastic if it comes out that way.

I lived in Charlotte for ten years. The state was fairly purple back then, but that was the 80's. I would love to retire there but the politics seemed to be regressing not progressing and that made me leery of living there.

I so want to be proud of NC once again. It is such a beautiful state.

26. I know Cheri from when I lived in Fayetteville

Unfortunately, with 62 percent counted the AP is reporting Budd as slightly ahead.
