Wrapping up a tense week at the N.C. General Assembly

On the latest episode of Under the Dome, The News & Observer’s politics podcast, for the week of May 22, 2023, host and state Capitol bureau chief Dawn Vaughan talks with politics reporters Luciana Perez Uribe Guinassi and Avi Bajpai about the abortion veto override, tension on the House floor and what it means for the atmosphere at the Legislative Building. Listen to audio from the final, dramatic moment that a supermajority of Republicans overturned Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of the abortion restrictions bill. Vaughan, Guinassi and Bajpai were all in the chamber when it happened. And that wasn’t the last moment of tension on the House floor a few days ago. Plus listen to what’s coming up this week in legislation.
