Yesterday, the North Carolina Democratic Party concluded its statewide “Vote for NC” Tour with a “Get Out the Vote” concert held alongside Dave Matthews, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison, Governor Roy Cooper, and Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, Cheri Beasley.
The NCDP’s second annual “Vote for NC” Tour was a statewide, multi-county tour to help mobilize voters and volunteers in 15 counties across North Carolina during the start of the early voting period and highlight Democratic Congressional candidates, statewide judicial candidates, legislative candidates, and local candidates. Special guests Doug Emhoff and DNC Chair Jaime Harrison joined stops in Kannapolis and Charlotte.

Charlotte Observer: ‘Democracy on the line’ in 2022 elections, Democrats tell Charlotte crowd
- In several speeches in Charlotte Monday, Democratic candidates and party officials framed the 2022 election as a “battle for democracy” and for the future of the country.
- North Carolina Democratic Party Chair Bobbie Richardson said the future of America’s democracy is on the line — a line echoed by Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris.
- “There’s only one side to this,” he said. “There’s … the American side. There’s the side of patriots. That message is resonating, and people should be afraid.”
- During his speech, Emhoff pointed to voter suppression and baseless questions about the integrity of the 2020 election. Republicans who continue to call question to Biden’s election, he said, are “tearing this country apart.”
