NC Senate will return July 29th for veto override votes, GOP Senate leader Phil Berger announces. Measures would then go to House, where they'd need at least one Dem to cross party lines or two Dems to be absent when a vote is called, assuming all Republicans are present. #ncpol

NC Democrats appear to be very serious in winning this state the first primary in the nation.
But, our primaries are state-run, and Dems would need cooperation from the GOP legislature. #ncpol

Brockman's been mentioned a potential name for a party switch, but he'd struggle to hold on to his deep blue (Biden+28) district. Looks like (another) primary challenge is coming... #ncpol
Quite a statement from Rep. Cecil Brockman (D-Guilford), who was an excused absence during the veto override on SB382 last week. And an overt message in a ’25 House with a razor-thin supermajority margin: “Over these next two years, you need me. I do not need you.” #ncpol

Part of what’s so interesting about the selection of Sydney Batch is that she had a very interesting way of moving up through the ranks.
In 2018, she was elected to the NC House, beating an incumbent and flipping a district in southern Wake County by just 2 points…

Another shocking day in #ncpol. After 40 years in the legislature, Sen. Dan Blue, 75, has been replaced as Minority Leader by fellow Wake Sen. Sydney Batch, 45, currently in her sixth year in the legislature.
Blue became the first Black NC House Speaker in 1991, serving until 1995. #ncleg
