Biden lost the Tar Heel state to Donald Trump by just 1.4 percentage points in 2020, and a Democrat at the top of the ticket hasn’t managed to turn North Carolina blue since Barack Obama did in 2008. Now Biden’s team sees opportunity in 2024 amid a fresh abortion ban, a contentious, expensive gubernatorial race and steady population growth that has ballooned urban and suburban areas.

    My NC experiences are (thankfully) limited to the bluer parts, so my view is admittedly skewed. Probably tipped a little too far into hyperbole with the “solid” comment.

      I wish it were more solidly blue. I’ve lived mostly closer to large urban areas (Raleigh) so I’m basically in the same boat as you.
