John Blust

It's a district that has been tilting toward flipping blue in our forecast throughout the year.

It's necessary to flip the North Carolina House, and the incumbent is a fella named John Blust, B-L-U-S-T.

All right.

Republican.

I am looking at three sections here, and it is what it takes to get a majority, what it takes to get a supermajority, and then what it takes to get a supermajority plus.

And according to your polling, Republicans are inclined, if they run the table, no upsets, they are inclined to get 63 seats with John Blust, uh, being the 63rd seat.

And that district has been in the news lately.

We don't have to get into that too much.

That's right.

People have been talking about potentially them flipping the House.

Um, one of the problems Democrats have is one of their candidates that's on the path to them flipping the House, like right on the path, especially when you're looking at this data, uh, is Shelley Heaton running against John Blust, and Democrats have withdrawn their support of her.

Right.

Absolutely.

So we are talking about Democratic challenger Shelly Hedden against Republican incumbent John Blust.

Blust has served in both the Senate and the House before, but a longer tenure in the House for sure.

This is House District 62, which is in Guilford County.
