Jim Hunt, the former and longest serving governor of North Carolina, told delegates on Wednesday at the Democratic National Convention that Republicans believe they have a “magic” prescription for the country’s economic woes.

“The other crowd doesn’t get it,” Hunt said. “They say just cut taxes for the wealthiest, get rid of regulations and job growth will happen by magic. Folks, magic didn’t do it in North Carolina. This is not a time for America to believe in magic.”
