In this "swing state" that is North Carolina, Republicans are trying to seduce women in the residential suburbs.

A decisive electorate, according to analysts, that Donald Trump is losing, a few days before the poll. 

REPORTAGE

Until Tuesday November 3, US election day, Europe 1 takes you to the United States with a daily report.

This Monday, meet near Charlotte, North Carolina. 

North Carolina is one of those famous "swing states" in which the residential suburbs vote can make the decision, with a role of arbiter between predominantly pro-Biden cities and pro-Trump campaigns.

Very courted, these suburbs are therefore in the crosshairs of Donald Trump's Republicans, who redouble their efforts a few days before the poll.

In North Carolina, studies show that support for the president's party has gone down those suburban streets with tidy houses from 54% four years ago ... to less than 40% today!

So, until the end, it's towing and door-to-door.

A prayer, and the teams of Sonja Nichols divide the alleys of the neighborhood.

On Sonja Nichols' phone, an application.

In the United States, when you register on the electoral roll, you can give your political color.

“This signals the homes of all Republican and non-affiliated voters. So each of these little dots, let's go,” she explains to Europe 1. “If there is no dot, it's is a democratic house, we do not there. There is no point, the leaflet will end up in the trash. "

The teams ring the bell, and good luck!

The young couple who opens them will vote Trump.

"With all the riots we have seen, I think we must support the police. Not cut funding," explains the man of the house. 

"There, I vote democratic"

 “Law and order,” Donald Trump's slogan printed, except with one type of key voter: Suburban women.

An even more decisive electorate, according to analysts.

“Are you going to love me?” Donald Trump pleaded recently, well aware that he is losing them.

"I saved your quarters" from the riots, he hammered from the podium.

But that does not convince Shanon.

"I have a daughter and a baby girl, and I don't want them to be represented by someone who doesn't respect women that much," she says.

"He speaks very badly. If we don't agree with him, we're a 'dirty bitch'. How can we support him?"

And to conclude: "I have no party, I voted for Republicans in the past, but here I am voting Democrat". 

"Trump greatly complicates my task"

This is exactly what the president's supporters fear at the end of the campaign.

"It greatly complicates my task," sighs Sonja Nichols, who is also seeking a Senate position.

And who fears that the "Trump effect," as she calls it, will not only cost her party the White House, but the majority in Congress as well.
