More young people are registering unaffiliated and tend to vote for climate and social justice issues. NC has a large active and retired military population due to all the bases here. I'm guessing the "losers and suckers" name calling from Trump along with the Russian bounties on US soldiers which he didn't denounce are going to lose him a lot of votes from the military. We'll have to wait and see.
