Vice President Harris's post-debate tour of swing states kicked off in North Carolina today. Following her second stop in a state Democrats are eyeing as potentially winnable, recent polling data from Quinnipiac University shows Harris leading Trump by three points, with both candidates polling close to each other within the margin of error.
North Carolina, a state that last voted Democrat in a presidential election in 2008 for Barack Obama, is now seen as a battleground once again. Governor Roy Cooper expressed optimism about Harris's chances to flip the state blue, drawing parallels to the energy and enthusiasm seen during Obama's historic win.
