North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory predicted that Donald Trump will win his state if he continues to stay focused on “Clinton fatigue” and the “basic premise of our economy” during an interview Tuesday on “The Laura Ingraham Show.”

The Republican governor, who is up for re-election himself in the key swing state, said he believes North Carolina is ripe for a Republican presidential win. But in order for Trump to continue to build momentum in the state and claim it in just one week, McCrory said Trump must stay focused on the issues the voters care about most —while highlighting Hillary Clinton’s failures.

“And I think he needs to remind the people of North Carolina, ‘Do you really want Clinton Fatigue for another four years?'”

“[Trump’s] doing a very good job of staying focused on — I think the whole issue is ‘Clinton Fatigue,'” McCrory told LifeZette Editor-in-Chief Laura Ingraham. “And I think he needs to remind the people of North Carolina, ‘Do you really want Clinton Fatigue for another four years?’ Both Hillary and Bill Clinton, because Bill will be living in the White House, too.”

McCrory lamented that he feels like the country is “returning back to the ’90s,” saying, “I feel like I’m reliving the ’90s, when I was mayor of Charlotte. And all we’re hearing is a different Clinton story every five minutes.”

Sure enough, there was fresh bombshell news about Clinton’s ongoing private email server scandal Friday when the FBI announced it had reopened its investigation into the matter.

“What’s your sense about the voters of North Carolina? What aspect of this — if any aspect of this — will affect the turnout?” Ingraham asked McCrory.

“I think it’s going to lower the turnout for especially students who came out strong for Obama in 2012 and 2008,” McCrory predicted. “I don’t think the students are going to come out — of course, North Carolina’s a huge university state.”

McCrory added that he believed the fresh wave of Clinton scandals also would decrease unenthusiastic Democratic voters from turning out to back Clinton.

“And we’re already seeing that in North Carolina. We’re not seeing the turnout as anticipated from 2008 or 2012,” McCrory said of early voter turnout. “And we hope that, you know, that bodes well for us. And we hope that the Trump ticket increases the turnout of new voters for the Republican ticket.”

But in order to secure a victory within the state, McCrory urged Trump to not only hammer Clinton for her corruption, but to also emphasize the change he will bring about in Washington, D.C. and in North Carolina.

“And the second thing I think he needs to do is talk about the basic premise of our economy, what we need to improve in our economy, how we need to improve education, how we need to reduce our debt, how we need to be pro-business and pro-jobs,” McCrory said. “He needs to stay focused on those items, and I’ve stated that to him, and I think he’s doing a great job — especially this past week.”
