Donald Trump Facing ‘Red Flags’ in North Carolina [Video]

Former President Donald Trump is facing “red flags” in North Carolina, a state he carried in 2016 and 2020, journalist Bryan Anderson warned.

In a Sunday analysis of the Tar Heel state’s early voting figures published on his Substack blog, Anderson, who covers state politics in North Carolina, found that Republicans were at “a major disadvantage” in the counties most seriously impacted by Hurricane Helene.

The hurricane, which made landfall in late September, was the deadliest storm to hit the mainland U.S. since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. As of Monday, North Carolina has recorded 101 deaths related to Helene.

More than 4.4 million North Carolinians have voted statewide, but Anderson noted that in the 13 counties hit hardest by Helene, Republicans were only outperforming their statewide turnout in five counties. Comparably, Democrats outperformed their statewide turnout in 10 of those counties, and unaffiliated voters outperformed their statewide turnout in 11.
