GOP North Carolina Chair says Dems aren't focused on issues minority communities are concerned with

North Carolina GOP Chairman Michael Whatley says that the Democrats' mistake that could benefit Republicans, is not focusing on key issues that minority communities care about. 

"When you think about Asian American families, you think about Hispanic families, you think about Black families — what do they care about?" Whatley asked on the Thursday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "They care about their family, they care about economic security and they care about education and on every single issue that affects those communities."

According to Whatley, the Democrats have failed to address each of those issues that matter to those communities.

"The Republicans have answers," Whatley continued. "The Republicans have solutions. And the Democrats have ideological positions that just absolutely are hammering all of those families. And so we're seeing tremendous pickup."

Whatley also said that there have been a number of minorities, specifically Hispanic Americans, coming to the GOP, as well as more minorities running for office as Republicans. 

"We're also excited about the number of Hispanic and Black candidates that we have on the ballot, the number of women candidates that we have on the ballot, and these are not window-dressing candidates," Whatley stated. "These are real substantive candidates that are doing a great job in winning those seats."

Whatley says that Republicans in specifically North Carolina are really upping their game in terms of voter registration for the midterms. 

"My favorite statistic in all of politics is that there's nothing more important than a five-minute conversation with an undecided voter," Whatley said. "When we talk about voter registration, it's about having those conversations. We've closed the gap with the Democrats since Election Day of 2020 by more than 115,000 voters."
