Create a 10-word scroll-stopping headline for: I think Jamie Ager will lose to Chuck Edwards | Vibe NC

There is zero excitement around this guy. Recently in the wake of the DSA wins in NY, he signed a pledge promising to combat socialist policies and people are pissed about this. Like way more angry than I thought they would be. There was already a belief that the primary was bought for him (because it was) now there's outright anger within the base. I know several people who were going to vote for him who now after the pledge did a little bit more research and learned that he's a blue dog dem (the most conservative dems, voted for Trump tax cuts, ICE funding etc.) say they're not going to because he's republican or MAGA lite.
It seems like their strategy is to win over independents and republicans while neglecting the dem/left base. So the base isn't looking like it's gonna turn out in the way they need, independents arent excited about him
and republicans are never going to vote for a dem no matter what. I think they're banking on the lack of hurricane relief in the area but if you speak to people outside of Asheville, they think Chuck Edwards got them plenty of relief because a lot of stuff has been repaired in the area. They think it came from Chuck instead of the community. Sounds crazy, but these people are so misinformed and the Democratic Party has been terrible at messaging the reality.
Obviously there's not much polling yet but this is just my opinion based on speaking to people in the area so take it with a grain of salt.
