This major news development should also move along the #ncpol process of selecting a President Pro Tem of the NC Senate.

[Nathan Babcock @NathanBabcock]

Danny Britt leads by 228 votes after the county canvasses. #ncpol

[Brian Lewis @NewFrameInc]

@BTpolitics Definitely on the “redrawing districts” while not having a budget.

The Democratic rout went beyond a blue fever dream. It seemed inexplicable. So we got some experts to explain it. https://t.co/dbi5ZFNBCJ

[Brian Lewis @NewFrameInc]

Start your week with the #DoPoliticsBetter pod!

@skydiving11 and I break down the 2026 midterm election results and what it means for #ncpol.

We look at the Democrats’ huge victory in taking back the NC House, the GOP’s hold in the Senate by a vote, and what’s next as both chambers start the process of organizing themselves into caucuses.

[Leader Reives Press @ReivesPress]

The House Democratic Caucus will vote to select its nominee for Speaker and other leadership positions on November 16th.  The full House of Representatives will elect the Speaker on January 13th, 2027.

[Leader Reives Press @ReivesPress]

NEWS: House Democratic Leader @electreives has secured commitments from a majority of the incoming North Carolina House of Representatives to be elected Speaker.

1974, 1994, and 2010. Now 2026 is added to the list of watershed mid-term elections, which swept Democrats into power in the NC House and has the GOP holding NC Senate by a vote.

@skydiving11 & I recap it all, #ncpol.

[Brian Lewis @NewFrameInc]

Not sure what @TerenceEveritt is trying to accomplish here, or why, but I’d encourage everyone to listen to the podcast for context.

As we said around the 5th minute (link below), this was actually a pretty likeable moment for Rep. Cohn, one that likely helped him with #ncpol voters.

Just a reminder to @NCHouseDems that this is what doing politics better looked like 2 days into early voting... #ncpol

[Andy Jackson @andyinrok]

How close do I think the race for control of the NC House will be?

So close that I changed my mind halfway through the podcast. I started saying that I thought Republicans would barely hold on, but ended up thinking it would go Democratic 61-59.

If we got a nickel for every time someone in the #ncpol universe hit refresh on this website.

Polls in close in just over 3 hours so get that index finger ready!

[Andrew Pomeranz @AndrewJPomeranz]

The debate over the past week: Will Democrats flip enough seats to take control of the NC House and Senate?

@andyinrok joined @skydiving11 and @NewFrameInc on the Do Politics Better podcast to discuss what it would take.

1/2
One awkward thing. They kept calling me "Dr. Jackson." I just thought it was some formality for the podcast.

It did not strike me until after I was already out the door that they still called me "Dr. Jackson" after the recording was over....

One thing about working on civil discourse? You get to talk a lot about civil discourse!

It was great to join @NewFrameInc and @skydiving11 to talk about the faculty task force report and the UNC System's Common Ground Collaborative. https://t.co/41U1pmzeHM
