Georgia, North Carolina May Indicate Winner of 2024 Election: Lee Carter | NewsNation Live

The path to victory in 2024 could run through the Peach and Tar Heel States.

That's according to election expert Lee Carter, who says the results of Georgia's gubernatorial and U.S. Senate races in November could provide a roadmap for the presidential contest two years later. "Georgia is a microcosm of the country right now," Carter said in an interview with NewsNation. "It's a swing state with a large and growing minority population. If Democrats can win there, they can win anywhere."

North Carolina is another key bellwether state, Carter said.

"It's a state that has voted for the winner of the popular vote in every presidential election since 1976," he said. "If Democrats can win North Carolina, they'll be in a very strong position to win the presidency."

Carter's comments come as both parties gear up for the 2024 election. Democrats are hoping to build on their recent successes in Georgia and North Carolina, while Republicans are looking to regain their footing in these key swing states.

The results of the 2024 election will have a profound impact on the future of the country. If Democrats can win Georgia and North Carolina, they will have a strong mandate to pursue their agenda. However, if Republicans can win these states, they will be able to block Democratic initiatives and set their own agenda.

The 2024 election is shaping up to be one of the most consequential in recent history. The results of the Georgia and North Carolina races will provide important clues about the direction of the country in the years to come.
