In the last presidential election, Donald Trump won the state of North Carolina by just over three points. Now, to be clear, North Carolina has not gone for a Democrat since Barack Obama in 2008. When you look beyond the presidential results, Democrats pretty much ran the table in North Carolina last year.Democrat Josh Stein won the governor's race by nearly 15 points. A Democrat won the state attorney general's race. Democrats flipped the lieutenant governor's office.and the office of the superintendent of ...

What you're looking at right here is a live shot of the Senate floor where they are holding a marathon voting session. It's been going on for hours.

I know you had an amendment on on the floor. Tell us about it. Tell us about what was what is important in that amendment, right? So, my amendment was about what the Republicans have done to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. And let me just remind everyone, that's that little agency that has forced giant banks and giant finance companies to return more than 20 billion dollar directly to 203 million people across this country, very popular. And the Republicans, they've actually taken a couple of cuts ...
