Will President Trump touting
his record, while hitting the
campaign trail in
North Carolina
President Trump, you have a
president who is standing up for
America and standing up for the
great people of North Carolina.
Forty five days from now were going to
win. North Carolina
were going to win four more
years in the White House.
Cheering
Jedediah, so does he make a good
case to voters in this
battleground state
lets ask the Durham County
North Carolina GOP chair, who
was raised in a democratic
household, but now supports
President Trump
Emanuel thanks so much for
being here.
Obviously, you see a big rally in
North Carolina with President
Trump and his supporters.
Where do North Carolina voters
stand today
where im seeing incredible
energy in our state?
I see im amazed. People normally
not involved with the political
process knocking on doors
handing out flyers, putting out
signs. They have an affinity
toward this is president,
it is surprising to me,
although I have not been in the
leadership role for more than
five years, ive been around
politics paying attention.
I just havent seen this energy
on the right in a very long
time.
Pete talk to me about voting in
North Carolina.
What is the process?
When does it start?
I know, vote remembers lining up
in Virginia.
The election has started.
Where are we in the process in
North Carolina?
What is being done in
North Carolina?
It runs starting the 18th
through the election and, of
course November. Third is the
election.
In addition to that, there are
record numbers of absentee
ballots have gone out.
Absentee ballots have gone out
shortly.
We want to focus on the
integrity of the vote.
We want to make sure every North
Carolinian votes once of course,
and they have the security and
assurety that they know the
vote will actually count.
Will lets go over a few of the
polls over battle of
North Carolina?
This is the
real, clear politics. Average
right now
shows forty seven point: three percent to Biden, forty six point, four percent to
trump
contrast that with two thousand and sixteen when it
was forty six percent for Hillary Clinton and
almost fifty percent for President Trump.
I want you to respond to those
polls.
Ask you this.
We asked everybody who is coming
to us from different states like
Minnesota.
What is the issue really
resonating with people in your
state
when you talk to people in
North Carolina? What is the issue
that is motivating them?
The first thing about the
polls is this im in a peculiar
situation, where I get to talk to
a lot of people and were
surprised when we do the door
knocking were talking to
individuals how reluctant people
are telling the truth to these
polls.
I think, sadly, in our country, it
is almost been like a dirty word
to say that you support the
president of the United States,
so people have not putting out a
lot of signs out not putting
out a lot of bumper stickers,
not talking to friends.
They keep it quiet.
We have private conversations
with Democrats, independents all
over the place. Definitely I am
supporting him when they feel
they are in a safe place,
so these polls, I dont, really
know what to make for them, but
I can see the energy were
feeling in North Carolina. It is
looking very favorable for us
Jedediah. That is a great point.
Imanuel,
a lot of people feel that way
they dont know what to make of.
