And Ted Budd got a very comfortable 50.5.

So we know that every place is going to matter.

What we need to do is to get out there

and talk to every Republican voter that supported President Trump who has not voted in the off years.

So we look at people who voted in 2016, 2020, and 2024, but they didn't vote in 2018 or 2022.

We want to go to them and have a conversation that says, this really matters.

We need to dynamite them off the couch, and we need to get them to go vote.

The other thing that we need to do

Is in a typical election in North Carolina, 46, 47% of the people are going to vote for a Republican candidate.

46, 47% are going to vote for a Democratic candidate.

And then we are going to have to go have a conversation with that 6 to 8% that are your swing voters.

And they're predominantly suburban.

They're predominantly college educated.

And the thing that matters to them is a conversation about crazy versus common sense.

And they supported President Trump in this last election cycle, independent voters in North Carolina, 54 to 45, because he was the common sense candidate.

He was actually going out there and talking about the issues that they cared about, not the woke progressive issues that Kamala Harris was putting on the table.

Roy Cooper is right there in lockstep with the Democratic Party when he's talking about open borders, inflationary spending in a weak, woke America.

What I'm fighting for is President Trump's common sense agenda to, you know, rebuild our economy, to make sure that our kids and our communities are safe and that the men and women in uniform based in North Carolina have what they need to protect our interests and allies around the world.

Yeah, look, tax policies, regulatory policies, and trade policies that are going to help North Carolina manufacturers, small businesses, and particularly our farms, right?

We need to create more jobs.
