Solid demographic breakdown here. The North Carolina case is particulalry compelling because it balances minority representation without over-indexing on any single group like SC does with Black voters. What often gets missed in these primary convos is how the first state shapes media narratives for months. I remember working on campaigns where an Iowa win created unstopabble momentum even when the candidate underperformed elsewhere.

That’s a great point! The Iowa Caucus had a powerful impact in the past, like propelling Buttigieg into the conversation for the nomination. But 2020 also showed us that you need to build a diverse coalition early on if you want to clinch the Democratic nomination.

Which campaigns did you work for?
