SUMMARY: President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden delivered pies to first responders and called military units worldwide, expressing gratitude for family and peaceful transitions. He also spoke to three Americans recently released in a prisoner swap with China. Vice President Harris participated in charitable meal preparations ahead of Thanksgiving.

House overrides veto, passes law that strips power from incoming Democrats
SUMMARY: Senate Bill 382 is now law following the State House’s override of the governor’s veto. This legislation aims to provide aid for flood victims while shifting power from State Democrats to Republicans, affecting public schools and elections. Critics, including Governor Roy Cooper, call the law unconstitutional and insufficient for aid, particularly for Western North Carolina. Protests erupted at the Capitol, resulting in one arrest among nearly 300 demonstrators. Opponents argue that Republicans exploited the victims’ needs for political gain. Legal challenges to the law may follow as the political landscape shifts before next year’s elections.
Senate Bill 382 is now law. The state House completed the necessary vote to override Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto. The law provides relief to Helene victims, while also stripping power away from state Democrats and giving Republicans a greater say in public schools and elections.

Helene: Aid package of $227M goes through on veto override | North Carolina
SUMMARY: The North Carolina House has successfully overridden a Senate bill, providing an additional $227 million in disaster assistance for recovery from Hurricane Helene. The House voted 72-46 in favor of the override, while the Senate completed its part with a 30-19 vote. Governor Roy Cooper’s administration is nearing 104 vetoes, with a perfect override rate by Republicans, who hold majorities in both chambers. The bill, which addresses various law changes alongside disaster relief, comes as recovery efforts from Helene, which struck in late September, continue. Litigation may ensue, reflecting the ongoing tensions between Cooper and the Legislature.
