There was a time before 2010 in which conservative Democrats ran NC politics, including the General Assembly and much of its leadership team.  And behind the campaign curtain of the 'Crone Caucus' was campaign consultant Brad Crone.  The Johnston County native talks about his career in politics, the partisan realignment in NC, and an assessment of where Democrats are today in the aftermath of the 2024 election.    Skye and Brian also break down the House veto session, constitutional amendments, the NC State Board of Election hearing, Dan Bishop's nomination, #TOTW, and more.   The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association, the NC Pork Council, and the NC Healthcare Association.

"Women are underrepresented at every level of North Carolina politics": that's the eye-catching title of a chapter in a new book called "Anatomy of a Purple State: A North Carolina Politics Primer." The book's author, Chris Cooper, professor of political science and public affairs at Western Carolina University, has compiled statistics around the issue. Only 30% of next year's state legislators are female. Cooper joins WUNC's Colin Campbell to talk about the numbers along with Rep. Lindsey Prather of Buncombe County, who shares her experience in the legislature.Sign up for our free, weekly WUNC Politics Newsletter here.

North Carolina is one of the most interesting swing states in this election. Democrats have not won the Tar Heel state at the presidential level since 2008 when Barack Obama won it. It was a close race in 2020 and recent polling has shown Harris and Trump neck and neck in the state. There's a lot to unpack about what's going on. Anderson Clayton is the chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party.  Elected at 25 years old, she is the youngest chair of a state Democratic Party in the U.S. Clayton joins WITHpod to discuss her political trajectory, the state of North Carolina politics, key issues including gerrymandering, her experience at the DNC and more.

The next 11 months are going to be a political whirlwind in North Carolina. The primary elections are less than two months away, which will give us a clear view of the November elections in this swing state. In between, there will be a short legislative session, during which GOP lawmakers who control the General Assembly could look to advance their priorities. WRAL state government reporter Will Doran raises the curtain on the year ahead.  

NC Capitol reporter Travis Fain looks ahead to the 2024 election cycle in North Carolina. He discusses top races, how the state could change from recent redistricting, and how the Presidential election could impact voter turnout and who becomes the state's next governor.

NC Capitol reporter Travis Fain takes a look back at the most impactful--and most intriguing--events in North Carolina politics in 2023.

With another year nearly over we ask: Who won 2023? WRAL Capitol Bureau Chief Laura Leslie and State Government Reporter Travis Fain have lots of thoughts, and now you're gonna hear about them! Plus: Another redistricting lawsuit, a candidacy challenge in Wake County and blowback on the push to keep former President Donald Trump off the ballot. We also turn our attention to 2024, predicting North Carolina's casino debate will return and that the state's child care shortage will demand attention.

The Hunt name still carries weight in North Carolina politics two decades after Governor Jim Hunt left office.  Sen. Rachel Hunt, the daughter of the "Education Governor," started her political career in 2018 when she successfully defeated a powerful House incumbent and four years later she now serves in the Senate.  Now the Democrat from Mecklenburg County is eyeing the Lieutenant Governor position, a seat her father held from 1973-77.   Sen. Hunt talks about her decision to run for office, growing up in the Executive Mansion, working on the family farm in the summers, and how she seems to be following a similar political path of her father.   Skye and Brian also unpack a busy week in the General Assembly, including a controversial women's sports bill, House GOP caucus finds consensus on abortion, executive versus legislative branch legislation, budget update, more statewide candidates, TOTW, and more.   The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association, and the NC Pork Council.

Last week, the battle over elected House Speaker Kevin McCarthy made headlines, but it also brought up memories of North Carolina's very own speaker battle 20 years ago this month. It led to a co-speaker arrangement with a Democrat and a Republican. It also led to high drama, prison time for one of the speakers, and changes that are still being felt today. Three veteran political reporters who were there, Rob Christensen, Gary Robertson and Lynn Bonner, join Tim to talk about the wild times that changed North Carolina politics forever.

Patsy Keever is a school teacher turned political servant.  She was a county commissioner and state legislator in North Carolina for years.In 2010 Keever ran for Congress.  That year North Carolina's political districts were so out of whack, her district was redrawn and gerrymandered to the point that she couldn't vote for herself (even though she had lived in that district for decades).  In 2019 a 3 judge panel would rule that the state's maps were so gerrymandered that it violated the state's constitution.  Republicans had drawn the maps to benefit the GOP with “surgical precision.”The process of redistricting is confusing, here are some resources that explain what happened:https://www.wsj.com/articles/north-carolinas-gop-drawn-map-is-struck-down-as-improper-gerrymander-11567552915 (The Wall Street Journal is a right leaning newspaper specializing in financial/economic reporting.)https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/politics-columns-blogs/under-the-dome/article193814154.html https://www.reuters.com/article/us-north-carolina-gerrymandering/north-carolina-court-strikes-down-state-legislative-map-as-unconstitutional-gerrymander-idUSKCN1VO2MDwww.charukumarhia.com www.charukumarhia.com
