Must be some misinformation flying around, it’s all I’m seeing on Facebook from olds.

Harris' visit to Charlotte will be her second this week to North Carolina. She is speaking at a rally in Raleigh on Wednesday. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Harris' running mate, will be in Charlotte and Asheville on Wednesday for campaign rallies as candidates continue to appeal to North Carolina voters.

It never made sense in the first place. The Harris campaign is bursting at the seams with excess cash.

That’s what I was thinking. That, plus the fact they said the cash was being rerouted to Virginia. No matter how bad it looks in NC for Harris, there’s no scenario that the money is better spent in Virginia vs NC.

Exactly - this is a power play by Rogan to make her come to him. Why would she give up that much time in the last week of the campaign? If this was 3 weeks ago, fine. Not now.

It’s not a power play. Rogan has the #1 podcast in the world - and he doesn’t ever travel to do his show. Trump, and now JD, are making the investment. The Harris campaign didn’t ask other podcast hosts to come to her.

And it’s worth the investment, even if it took a full day. What’s better, a rally of 5-20k people who are already voting for you, or 30M views on the number one podcast with a simpleton audience (as you guys would probably put it) that could be swayed?

She’s had weeks to make it work. If it doesn’t happen, the Harris campaign never actually wanted it to happen. Which is a mistake IMO.

You do realize she emerged as the last person standing against Trump in the primaries right? After there were many people on the stage to start. She didn’t exactly fall flat on her face in the primary like Kamala 2020 or something.

DeSantis ran an awful campaign. Haley ran a good one.

“After there were many people on the stage to start.”

Most of that “many” dropped out in 2023 or before Iowa. Five candidates were still in the race at the Iowa Caucuses (1/15). Trump won; DeSantis finished second; Haley was third.

DeSantis (1/16), Vivek (1/15) and Asa Hutchinson 1/21) dropped out almost immediately after Iowa.

Nikki Haley won <20% of the vote in a 1 v. 1 race against Trump.

Trump was the presumptive nominee on March 12. Haley had suspended her campaign on March 6.

It’s a stretch to say she ran a good campaign.

I agree. If it is really as close as we think it is, then getting onto Rogan could only help unless she was afraid she'd botch answers or convo. If she can do Howard Stern, why not Rogan? I hope future Dem pols gets on there.

At a minimum she comes across as normal and non-weird in contrast to Trump...
