North Carolina had some of the country’s most competitive races of the 2024 election cycle. After the dust settled, The Assembly’s reporters and editors came together on November 13 to offer their thoughts on what happened, what the results say about the future of our state, and what might come next as new leaders prepare to govern.

This hourlong event featured three in-depth panel discussions.
