joining us on the phone from charlotte is a reporter for the charlotte observer. thanks for being with us. why has north carolina become such a battleground state? >> guest: part of it is due to demographic changes, you' you ga lot of people moving from the northeast and a lot of maloney was moving to urban areas like charlotte and the politics have just become more moderate. you still have the urban and rural divide the people that used to vote for jesse helms, used a democrat and are now republicans and there are a lot of them in rural areas into the urban areas are pretty blue across the country. >> the president speaking to visit to the state, donald trump and north carolina first day, what is their message and who are they appealing to a? >> guest: i think trump is appealing to the people he has appealed to that most of his rallies in fact he's having a rally in a rural area near charlotte that is in the same arena he's already had one this year, so he's going back to his stronghold which is in rural north carolina so it's those republicans that are at the ba
