Under the Dome podcast: Presidential polling, Destin Hall’s fundraising, third parties
Start your week in North Carolina politics with our latest Under the Dome podcast, for the week of August 19, 2024. Dawn Vaughan here, your podcast host and The News & Observer’s Capitol bureau chief. On this episode, I’m joined by my politics team colleagues Avi Bajpai and Kyle Ingram.
We have news on the legislative front this week, which is something given that lawmakers for the most part are at home in their respective districts.
House Rules Chair Destin Hall has been raising big money, so that’s up for discussion, as is the latest presidential polling and what it shows about North Carolina’s swing state attention. Plus, how the Divine 9 and HBCUs play into galvanizing support for the candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Headliner of the Week
After the break, we talk about third party candidates, which segues into Ingram’s related pick for Headliner of the Week.
Bajpai and I have a joint Headliner because of how spicy the news is: we have an update on the seasoning salt situation at the Legislative Building Snack Bar. It features a shout-out to Rep. Maria Cervania, and some interesting information from Legislative Services Officer Paul Coble.
