I’m in California now....but I’m a Tar Heel born and raised. I want North Carolina something awful!! It hurts to see Hagen in Jesse’s seat :-(
My mom’s side of the family is from Swain County, NC. I’m surprised a democrat took Jesse’s seat, but the mountain people learned to vote democrat under the south and under FDR. Then their kids just kept doing it. They’re slowly coming around to reality.
As a native Californian, I offer you my sincerest condolences.
