Why Council of State races might suddenly matter a lot more

In the first episode of the rebooted Longleaf Politics Podcast, I have a conversation with Mitch Kokai, Senior Political Analyst at the John Locke Foundation, about the current political landscape in North Carolina, focusing on separation of powers lawsuits, recent court rulings, the rise of unaffiliated voters, and the competitive dynamics of the 11th congressional district. Kokai provides insights into how these factors are shaping the state's political future and the implications for both major parties.KeywordsNorth Carolina politics, Mitch Kokai, separation of powers, political analysis, unaffiliated voters, council of state, court rulings, political landscape, elections, congressional districts This is a public episode.
