RALEIGH, N.C. — For the first time in more than four years, North Carolina Republicans last month overrode a veto from Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper.
And that was before the party switch that shook up state politics and expanded Republicans’ power.
From abortion access and LGBTQ rights to gun regulations and rules for what can be taught in North Carolina schools, there are a lot of areas where Republicans once didn’t have enough votes to pass bills or were blocked by Cooper’s vetoes, but are expected to move forward now.
