Despite losing the presidential race in North Carolina, Democrats found success in down-ballot races, securing key local and state positions.
These victories provide hope for the party as they strategize for future elections in this swing state. Additionally, a high-profile ballot measure in 2024 could change the language around citizenship requirements for voting, though it aligns with existing federal law.
Democrats are looking to build on these gains to challenge Republicans in upcoming elections.
