No Democratic presidential candidate has won North Carolina since Barack Obama in 2008. So when Trump led by 10 points as recently as April, history seemed destined to repeat itself. However, as in many states, Kamala Harris has reinvigorated the party's odds in the state as she now holds a two point lead.
Her path to victory may hinge on one specific demographic: young Latinos. As Axios reports, nearly one-third of the 36.2 million Latinos who are eligible to vote are between the ages of 18 to 29. Specifically in North Carolina, the largest ever cohort of young North Carolina-born Latinos will be eligible to vote in a presidential election this year.
