In North Carolina, Harris pledges to give everyone a seat at the table

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris told a raucous crowd in North Carolina that, "Unlike Donald Trump, I don't believe that people who disagree with me are the enemy." She said, " He wants to put them in jail. I will give them a seat at the table." More than 70 million Americans have already cast ballots, according to the Election Lab at the University of Florida, below the record early-voting pace in 2020 during COVID-19, but still indicating a high level of voter enthusiasm. Saturday (October 2) marks the last day of early voting in North Carolina, where over 3.8 million votes have been cast, while the state's western reaches are still recovering from Hurricane Helene's deadly flooding. North Carolina has 16 votes in the Electoral College, where 270 are needed to secure the presidency. The state backed Trump in 2020 by a narrow margin of less than 1.5 percentage points, and elected a Democratic governor on the same day, giving hope to both parties.
