WRAL State Government Reporter Paul Specht shares highlights from his recent interview with Clayton.

North Carolina Democrats hope a Kamala Harris presidential nomination will help them win down-ballot races this year. WRAL Capitol Bureau Chief Laura Leslie explains how Democrats’ chances have changed since Harris inherited President Joe Biden’s campaign.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted July 29 at 7:45 a.m. CT: WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has unveiled a long-awaited proposal for changes to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Democratic president is calling on Congress to establish term limits and an ethics code for the court’s nine justices. Biden also is pressing lawmakers to ratify a constitutional amendment that would limit presidential immunity. The White House has detailed the contours of Biden’s court plan. But it appears to have little chance of being approved by a closely divided Congress with just 99 days to go before Election Day. Biden is expected to speak about his proposal Monday during an address at the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin, Texas. WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has raised $200 million since she emerged as the likely Democratic presidential nominee last week. The campaign announced the eyepopping fundraising total on Sunday for Harris, saying about 66% of the donations come from first-time contributors in the 2024 election cycle.  FOREST RANCH, Calif.

On November 1898, North Carolina Democrats won a sweeping victory at the polls – confirming the success of their campaign based on white supremacy, intimidation, and fraud. But in Wilmington, the state's largest city, white supremacist leaders were not satisfied. This episode tells what happened on November 10, 1898, in Wilmington: a massacre of Black men, and the only successful coup d'etat in U.S. history. By John Biewen and Michael A. Betts, II. Interviews with LeRae Umfleet, Bertha Todd, William Sturkey, Cedric Harrison, and Milo Manly. Story editor: Loretta Williams. Voice actor: Mike Wiley. Music by Kieran Haile, Blue Dot Sessions, Okaya, Jameson Nathan Jones, Kevin McLeod, and Lucas Biewen. Art by Zaire McPhearson. “Echoes of a Coup” is an initiative of America's Hallowed Ground, a project of the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University.

The conflict between Israel and Hamas is causing a rift within the Democratic Party. President Biden has been criticized by some within his own party for not doing enough to help Palestinians who have been hurt by Israel’s attacks on Hamas. Meanwhile, some North Carolina Democrats have faced criticism from some within the party for not showing enough support for Israel, the U.S.’s top Middle Eastern ally. The tension is taking the party’s focus off of the 2024 elections in North Carolina — a state known for its tight presidential and gubernatorial races. WRAL state government reporter Paul Specht breaks down the discord among state Democrats.

Lawmakers gathered again in Raleigh Tuesday to override Gov. Roy Cooper's vetoes on five bills, taking the Republican supermajority's override record this year to 19-0. But a resolution on the conflict between Israel and Hamas that some North Carolina Democrats refused to sign dominated the discourse this week. Also: Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's press conference supporting Israel forces him to address his past comments on the holocaust. And the 2024 game of musical chairs is getting underway as lawmakers work on new election maps. WRAL Capitol Bureau Chief Laura Leslie and WRAL State Government Reporter Travis Fain get you caught up.

House Republicans nominate Rep. Steve Scalise as next House Speaker – if he can get the votes, a number of Americans missing in Israel may be hostages and North Carolina Democrats sue over restrictive new voting laws. 

Tune in here for a Tuesday edition of Breaking with Brett Jensen!

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper encouraged schools and local governments to end mask mandates Thursday, citing widespread vaccine availability and decreasing COVID-19 metrics statewide.  "The last couple of months, omicron overran the nation quickly," Cooper said during a Thursday briefing from Raleigh. "Now, just about as fast as the numbers peaked, they're falling. This variant is clearly more contagious, yet generally causes less severe illness, particularly to people who are vaccinated and boosted. And now people know how to gauge their level of risk and best protect themselves." Cooper's recommendation comes one day after Mecklenburg County commissioners unanimously voted to drop the county's indoor mask mandate.

State lawmakers were given a deadline of Feb. 18 to create new maps after the North Carolina Supreme Court struck down the first proposals, calling them unconstitutional. The new maps will now go to a three-judge panel in Wake County Superior Court on Friday. Judges have until Feb. 23 to approve or reject the legislature's new proposals. The congressional proposal gives North Carolina Democrats a better chance to pick up more seats in the state.

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

File photo. PAUL GARBER/WFDD With primary season in full swing, WFDD listener Julie Coulter has voting security on her mind.  She asks, “Which is the safest way to vote to make sure that my vote is counted: early voting, absentee, or voting Election Day at my local precinct?” WFDD’s David Ford set out for answers on this edition of Carolina Curious. He spoke with Catawba College political scientist Michael Bitzer.  Interview Highlights On the upsides of early voting: With absentee by mail ballots, you know, there's the concern about the ballot coming in, you filling it out correctly, and then mailing it back and making sure that that's all done within a proper amount of time. If you go absentee one-stop or in-person voting, you basically just walk in, get your ballot, you fill it out, you turn it in and you're done just like you would do on Election Day. Now, the beauty of North Carolina is that all of this information about who is requesting absentee by mail and doing one-stop voting is publicly available. So, you can check on the North Carolina State Board of Elections website to see if indeed your ballot was submitted, it was accepted, and that ballot is basically part of the elections and the votes that will be tabulated on Election Day. North Carolinians have really taken to this in the general elections. In fact, in 2016, two thirds of all the ballots cast in the presidential election for November of 2016 came before Election Day.  On the concerns over election interference and ballot tampering:  I think certainly after the 2018 debacle with absentee by mail ballots in the North Carolina 9th Congressional District and the allegations of vote tampering by individuals, I think North Carolinians are much more concerned about that issue. Really, they shouldn't be, though, if they cast their ballots in person and then go on the North Carolina State Board of Elections website and can type in their name and see that indeed that ballot was submitted and accepted.  On the mood of North Carolina voters ahead of Super Tuesday: I have been tracking the early votes in North Carolina for the March 3rd primary. And they're coming in, but at a kind of slow pace. And I think on the Democratic side, this is to be expected because the field is still so muddy. Yes, we've had two primaries and caucuses. We've got two more coming up before we cast our ballots on Super Tuesday. But I think for North Carolina Democrats and those unaffiliateds who want to vote in the Democratic primary, it really is a watch and see. So, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw the bulk of the ballots for March 3rd come in on Election Day.
