North Carolina's electoral future may hinge on rural Black voters who feel ignored by Democrats
North Carolina's electoral future may depend on rural Black voters who feel ignored by Democrats. The party's success in mobilizing these voters could help former Gov. Roy Cooper win a U.S. Senate race and reshape presidential elections.
In rural North Carolina, Black voters feel overlooked by Democrats. The party tends to fall short in rural areas, despite being strong with Black voters. Former Gov. Roy Cooper is trying to change this by holding roundtable sessions with Black farmers and business owners. Cooper's campaign promises a statewide organizing effort before November. The Democratic party needs to focus on neighborhood-level organizing to regain ground in rural areas. Success in North Carolina could help Democrats win the U.S. Senate and the White House.
