Most people don't know this, but the Panthers are removing 6500 seats at Bank of America Stadium for a "social patio."
The problem: There are a bunch of PSL holders in those seats.
I investigated, for @theobserver. A must-read for every Panther fan: charlotteobserver.com/sports…
These Charlotte Democrats have majority for first time. How will they use power? #ncpol

Insane that the Panthers ran the next play, ball was spotted and somehow they allow a challenge from the play before. NFL hates the Panthers.

The Triangle is more like Atlanta than Charlotte in terms of blue sprawl. Charlotte's suburban counties have been one of the most important sources of votes for Republicans in NC because of how populated they are and how they usually vote.
The Mecklenberg-Charlotte area slowly but surely becoming for North Carolina Democrats what the Atlanta Metro area is for Georgia Democrats.

Trading away Lamelo is, so far, looking like a giant mistake.
It's panic time in Charlotte.
Worst offensive rating in the NBA by far. They take over half their shots from 3 even though they're shooting below 30%. Sion James cannot hit the side of the backboard, yet Charles Lee keeps empowering him to launch bricks.
Brandon Miller is not looking worth the money. Kon Knueppel is hurt again already. Seeing a lot of bad body language across the roster. All the joy is gone.
A step back was to be completely expected after trading LaMelo Ball but this is way worse than anticipated for the Hornets. This team looks broken.

So in one calendar year, North Carolina Republicans lost Berger, Tillis and Moore.
Feels like we're in entirely new #ncpol waters.
Minutes before midnight, Democrats are leading or have won 9 of NC's 14 congressional races, including former NC House Speaker Tim Moore's 14th District seat.
In NC-3, NC-5 and NC-7, Republicans are leading by less than a point with precincts still left to report. #ncpol

BREAKING: Democrat Ken McCool ousted Republican state Rep. Tricia Cotham in another expensive fight for her southeast Mecklenburg district.
Cotham narrowly won another term representing state House District 105 in 2024 after leaving the Democratic Party to become a Republican.

With more than half of the vote in Annie Andrews is currently leading the US Senate race in York County, which is traditionally GOP and Ralph Norman's home. We wrote about elephant in the room for this race being how Norman loyalists would break: charlotteobserver.com/news/p…

One big thing to watch in North Carolina's Senate race is:
Which candidate gets the most votes. Because that will be the person who wins.

This shifting NC county could be ‘key’ to GOP power in Raleigh. 3 races to watch #ncpol
