💨 Abstract

On July 29, 2025, North Carolina Republicans took significant steps to enact their conservative agenda by overriding eight of 14 vetoes by Governor Josh Stein’s. They secured votes from Stein's own Democratic party even when they narrowly lost their veto-proof majority. Key legislation enacted includes restrictions on transgender rights, allowing firearms on private school property, and eliminating a greenhouse gas reduction mandate.
