2024 NC Election Recap
It was a late night for North Carolinians as the state’s polls closed at 7:30 p.m. last Tuesday. Many precincts did not finish reporting their ballots until early Wednesday morning.
Overall, there is a new Democrat Governor, and the Republican-held Legislature did lose supermajorities. Despite losing the supermajorities, the General Assembly remains relatively the same after the election cycle. The NC House lost the supermajority by one seat; however, with the numbers being so close to a supermajority, there are still avenues to go down for the General Assembly to pass a budget during the upcoming biennium.
The NC Senate was able to maintain a supermajority and increase their numbers by one seat.
The State Superintendent race was close and shifted with elected Democrat Maurice "Mo" Greene.
