President Joe Biden and his campaign are focusing on North Carolina as a crucial battleground state for the 2024 election, with favorable demographics and a changing electorate giving Democrats optimism. However, Republicans are not worried yet, as polling shows Trump with an edge and a history of success in the state. Biden's visit to North Carolina marks a proactive effort to secure the state's 16 electoral votes, which could be essential given his vulnerability in other states he carried in 2020.

The state's potential to sway unaffiliated voters and its growing population of college-educated voters further highlight its significance in the 2024 election.
