- North Carolina man says he voted Harris because girlfriend threatened to break up with him (newsbreak.com)
A North Carolina man admitted to joking about his girlfriend threatening to break up with him if he didn’t vote for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. He later clarified that while she had encouraged him to vote for Harris, she had not made such an ultimatum.
Despite the man’s playful exaggeration, the gender gap is expected to influence the election’s outcome. Harris reportedly has significant support among women, who may play a crucial role in determining the winner.
North Carolina is a pivotal battleground state, with Harris currently holding a strong lead in Mecklenburg County, a key urban area. Overall, Trump is leading in the state, but less than half of the votes have been counted.
Despite challenges like Hurricane Helene, North Carolina has experienced record voter turnout in early voting. Over 4.2 million residents have cast their ballots, surpassing the previous record set in 2020.
