RALEIGH,N.C(WGHP)- North Carolina Democrats appear to have broken the Republican supermajority in the state House of Representatives following the 2024 election. This development has significant implications for the balance of power in the state legislature:
Key Outcomes
Impact
- Governor-elect Josh Stein will have more leverage in negotiations with the legislature.
- Republicans will need to work across the aisle to pass their biggest priorities.
- This shift gives Democrats “a seat at the table” in terms of legislative policymaking.
Close Races
Several races remain close and may be subject to recounts:
- In House District 98, Democrat Beth Helfrich flipped the seat covering parts of Lake Norman.
- Two incumbent House Republicans were behind by just hundreds of votes as of Wednesday.
This narrow breaking of the supermajority represents a significant change in North Carolina’s political landscape, potentially leading to more bipartisan negotiations on key issues in the coming legislative session
