northam carried this county, and biden. and virginia beach, biden flipped it, northam carried it also. it was a flip both in 2020 and 2017. then you get there and say, okay, what else did it? well, terry did have a problem with african american voters. here s hatchton county. he underperformed biden, he also underperformed northam out of there. let s go to rural african american county, particularly greenville county which has 60% african american. again, underperforms normham and biden. and suffolk county, the same, underperforms biden and northam. yes, he got what he needed out of the northern suburbs. trump worked here, but trump didn t work here and here and maybe on the flip side is what happened on the rural counties. let me just show you this, this
