the ‘swingiest of the swing states’

  John, North Carolina is key to expanding our fragile Senate majority. This state has been called the ‘swingiest of the swing states’ because of its reputation to bounce back and forth. In fact, in 2020 it was the only state to vote for Donald Trump while also re-electing a Democrati…
