Video: Elizabeth Warren Campaigns for Hillary Clinton in North Carolina

RALEIGH, NC — Elizabeth Warren went from rallying "nasty women" in New Hampshire to urging "friends of nasty women" to vote for Hillary Clinton in North Carolina.

The Massachusetts senator has officially co-opted Donald Trump's debate-stage interjection into a call to battle, and now she's taking that push on the road in the final weeks before the General Election.

Warren appeared Tuesday night at Meredith College, where a responsive crowd laughed and booed along, wildly cheering as she reproduced well-worn insults against Trump, the "small, insecure money-grubber" and "selfish little sleazeball."

"Donald Trump is now the leader of the Republican Party, and they've got to own up to that," she said, to chuckles. "They're the ones that picked him."

As in New Hampshire before, Warren did her utmost to shackle incumbent Republican Sen. Richard Burr to what her supporters see as the nominee's myriad failings.

He's "like a puppy on a leash, sticking right there with Donald Trump. ... Donald Trump's lapdog," Warren said. Democratic challenger Deborah Ross, by contrast, Warren likened to Clinton's brains, guts, thick skin, steady hands, "and most of all... basic decency. And that's what America needs right now."

She amended her New Hampshire line.

"Nasty women vote in North Carolina," Warren said, met by cheers and screams. "So, what do you say, nasty women? Are we ready? And friends of nasty women? Are you ready to vote? Are you read to get these men (Trump and Burr) out of our lives forever?"

You can watch a recap from her full appearance below:

Warren isn't the only big-name Democrat rolling through the state in the final weeks before Nov. 8. Also on tap this week in North Carolina are former President Bill Clinton and former presidential candidate Howard Dean. Clinton herself is scheduled to appear there on Thursday, alongside First Lady Michelle Obama.

And Warren's work isn't over after leaving Raleigh. She'll be in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday.

In North Carolina, Warren and the rest are looking to solidify an apparent Clinton advantage in the highly competitive swing state.

The Democrats' nominee currently leads Trump by 2.2 points in a RealClearPolitics polling average for the state, where all but one October poll forecasts a Clinton win. The most recent poll, from the New York Times and Siena College, gives Clinton a 7-point lead over Trump, while Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson polls a distant third with 8 percent.

Mitt Romney won the state in 2012. A Trump loss there would make his path to victory all but impossible.

As such, the Trump team has also deployed heavy firepower in the state in recent weeks. Trump appeared at the Charlotte Convention Center on Oct. 14, followed by back-to-back North Carolina visits from Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence on Oct. 10 and 12.

The larger question is whether a possible Clinton win in North Carolina buoys Democrats down-ballot as well.

A RealClearPolitics polling average paints an unlikely forecast, with Republican Burr leading Democrat Ross by 3.2 points, and projected to win by all but one recent poll. Turnout may be a deciding factor, hence the descent of candidates and their backers on the state.

Warren has become a key Clinton surrogate, bringing her firebrand liberal persona to rallies with an added focus on women's issues, college affordability and the economy. She's also honed her Twitter tiffs with the Republican nominee into an on-stage standup routine of sorts.

On Monday, before a gleeful crowd, she excoriated Trump over a moment during the third presidential debate in which he interrupted Clinton mid-speech to call her a "such a nasty woman."

"Get this, Donald," Warren told an approximately 4,000-strong crowd on Monday in New Hampshire. "Nasty women are tough. Nasty women are smart. And nasty women vote. And, on Nov. 8, we nasty women are going to march our nasty feet to cast our nasty votes to get you out of our lives forever."

Clinton, seated behind her, beamed and applauded as Warren riled the crowd, later joking that Trump was no doubt "tweeting away" as they spoke.
