For the first time since John Edwards was the vice-presidential nominee in 2004, North Carolina is back in the national spotlight during the Democratic National Convention. A new poll from High Point University shows Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump 44-43 in the presidential race, while Josh Stein holds a significant lead over Mark Robinson in the gubernatorial race. Senator Jay Chaudhuri, a Democrat from Wake County, joined Jeff Hamlin on the WPTF Afternoon News to discuss the importance of North Carolina in the upcoming elections and the increased focus on the state in the final weeks of the campaign.
