Show Notes
North Carolina Democrats say they have broken the Republican supermajority in the state legislature after the 2024 election cycle, and therefore, the GOP's ability to override the governor's veto without cross-party collaboration.
This supermajority allowed the party to pass conservative legislation, like tighter abortion restrictions, without support from Gov. Cooper.
However, many of these close-call races that flip state House of Representative seats from red to blue are headed for a recount.
The General Assembly has 170 seats in total: 120 of them in the House of Representatives and 50 of them in the Senate.
