President Joe Biden's campaign for re-election is ramping up its efforts as he prepares for his second trip to North Carolina. The Vice President, Kamala Harris, will also be joining him in Charlotte on April 4th, where she plans to address important environmental issues and discuss actions to combat climate change. According to a report by CBS 17, the Biden campaign has recently added four new members to their team: Harrison Peel, Senator Natalie Murdock, James Sonneman, and Desiree Kennedy. Peel will serve as deputy campaign manager, Senator Murdock will be the political and campaigns director, Sonneman will take on the role of general elections director, and Kennedy will serve as the campaign's chief operations officer.
To further strengthen their presence in North Carolina, the Biden administration plans to open 10 new field offices in key locations across the state. This strategic move is aimed at helping the Democrats secure a win in North Carolina, a state that was won by former President Donald Trump twice. In a statement, David Berrios, the North Carolina campaign manager for the Biden campaign, emphasized the importance of the state in the upcoming 2024 election. He stated that the campaign is determined to highlight the stark contrast between President Biden's track record of job creation and lowering costs, and Trump's efforts to restrict freedoms and revoke healthcare benefits.
It is worth noting that the last Democratic candidate to win North Carolina was Barack Obama during his historic 2008 campaign. However, Biden came incredibly close to winning the state in the 2020 election, losing by a mere margin of 1.34%. This was Trump's smallest margin of victory during that year's campaign, as reported by CNN. In a rare stop in Raleigh on March 26th, Biden and Harris emphasized the importance of healthcare, particularly on the same day the Supreme Court was hearing arguments on the abortion medication, mifepristone. During his speech, Biden reminded voters that with Trump's repeated promises to repeal the Affordable Care Act, their healthcare coverage would be at risk if they voted for him instead.
Biden continued to urge voters to support him, stating that if the ACA were to be repealed, 45 million people across the country, including 1.4 million in North Carolina, would lose their healthcare coverage. He pointed out that Trump and his supporters have tried to repeal the ACA a whopping 50 times, but they have been unsuccessful thanks to the efforts of the Democrats. However, Biden cautioned against complacency and emphasized the importance of not taking anything for granted. He and Harris have returned to North Carolina to celebrate the ACA and remind people of the importance of their vote. On a lighter note, Biden poked fun at the recent Saturday Night Live skit that made a joke about his support from the Black community, saying "Kamala and I have come back to North Carolina to celebrate the ACA and to remind all of us we can't take anything for granted."
