Congress in disarray? Of course there's a North Carolina connection

Author: WRAL News | Raleigh, North Carolina October 6, 2023 Duration: 32:10

The Wrap turns its attention to Washington, D.C., this week, where the U.S. House of Representatives deposed its speaker and a bow-tied, beer-brewing North Carolinian ended up with the gavel. Plus: The new state budget is law, state lawmakers gather next week for veto overrides and there's another elections lawsuit, with more sure to come. WRAL state government reporters Travis Fain and Will Doran break it down.


Every week, the political landscape in North Carolina shifts with new debates, decisions, and developments. NC Capitol Wrap brings you directly into that conversation with the experienced journalists from WRAL News in Raleigh. This isn't just a summary of headlines; it's a focused discussion on the laws being crafted, the policies being debated, and the personalities driving it all under the dome. You'll hear clear explanations of complex legislative processes, analysis on how state government actions affect communities from the mountains to the coast, and interviews with key figures who are shaping the future of the Tar Heel State. For anyone who wants to move beyond the soundbites and understand the real stories behind North Carolina politics, this podcast serves as an essential, grounded resource. Tune in for straightforward reporting and context that helps make sense of the news emerging from the state capital.
