The Aporia · Democrats miss complete takeover of North Carolina state government

Democrats narrowly missed gaining full control of North Carolina’s state government after winning the governor's office and likely taking over the House of Representatives. Republicans retained their majority in the state Senate by just 228 votes, thanks to Republican Danny Britt Jr.’s lead in a single race against Democrat Catina Hamm. The final results are pending official certification, but if they hold, Democrats would not achieve a complete "trifecta" control over North Carolina's government.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
