Despite hopes and efforts from Democrats, Trump ended up outperforming Vice President Kamala Harris — and his own 2020 margins — in North Carolina. In counties like Forsyth, Wake and Mecklenburg, where Harris needed to potentially outdo President Joe Biden’s 2020 margins, Trump made marginal but consequential gains.

October 23, 2024 Categories: There are reasons to be more concerned about election misinformation this year than in years past. We need not look further than the last month of discourse on the social platform X, formerly Twitter, to figure out the public discourse we might expect after the polls close on Nov. 5.

About a year ago, Wake Forest, alongside the City of Winston-Salem, announced plans for an ambitious redevelopment project along Deacon Boulevard. Since then, both entities have been largely radio silent, with only piecemeal demolitions (notably of the student favorite bar, The Last Resort) and City Council resolutions serving as clues as to what the project entailed. Today, the full scope of the now-titled project, “The Grounds,” has been unveiled.

Her parents bought a small print featuring imagery of cowboys and cacti, and since then it has hung above her bed at home. In that early moment, the foundation for Jones’ path to art history was being laid.
