Second, whereas Dems "bottomed out" w/ rural GA whites a few years ago, they've continued to backslide w/ rural voters in NC - esp. in the Sandhills region - canceling out their suburban gains. GA doesn't have an equivalent Robeson Co., which voted 58% Obama '12 & 59% Trump '20. — PolitiTweet.org

First of all, Georgia is simply a more "major metro" state. The Atlanta metro area now casts 59% of the state's votes, whereas the Charlotte/Research Triangle areas *combined* cast only 42% of North Carolina's votes. NC is simply a more small town/rural state. — PolitiTweet.org

But third, when's the last time NC Dems have run a Black candidate in a Sen/Gov race? 1996. They last won a Senate race in 2008, when Obama led the ticket. And they haven't had a galvanizing Stacey Abrams/Raphael Warnock candidacy. I think it's part of the shortcoming, tbh. — PolitiTweet.org
