NC Republicans Override DEI Veto

North Carolina House Republicans pulled off a major legislative win by overriding Governor Josh Stein’s vetoes — a feat made possible by the absence of two key lawmakers. The overridden bills target DEI programs in state government and schools, while another pushes closer ties with ICE. With one bill still pending Senate approval, these measures are now law — showcasing how razor-thin margins and last-minute absences can shift political tides. Meanwhile, Wake County officials face censure over a deceased voter case, the UNC system avoids full COVID record disclosure, and a scaled-back elections bill moves forward. The Lumbee Tribe’s recent rejection of casino plans also signals ongoing tensions around economic development and tribal sovereignty.
