Crazy moment. Rep. Jeff McNeely takes aim at Rep. Abe Jones' Harvard background: "Would you have not been able to achieve these if you were not an athlete or a minority?" He's suspended from continuing to speak.

Jones: "I earned my place and I did well."

VIDEO: Here’s the exchange between Republican Rep. Jeff McNeely and Democratic Rep. Abe Jones of Wake County during school choice bill debate —> #ncpol
McNeely has apologized to Jones on the House floor: “I respect Representative Jones. I think he’s a great legislator. I think he’s a great man. What I tried to ask or say did not come out right. That happens a lot, and I apologize." #ncpol
For those wishing to read more about today's floor session and McNeely's latest controversial remarks (including comparing State Bureau of Investigation management to Nazis and apparent racist questioning of a colleague today), subscribe here -->

JUST IN: In statement, Rep. Jones tells me he has accepted Rep. McNeely's apology, but will let his colleague's conduct and statement speak for itself. He says the "thinly-veiled racial aspect of the encounter is inexcusable." #ncpol

JUST IN: Abortion bill veto override vote on #SB20 has been scheduled for Tuesday’s 4 pm voting session.
Per chamber rules, Senate Rules Chair must inform Senate Democratic Leader Dan Blue at least 24 hours in advance of override vote. That has just happened. In budget presser, GOP Senate leader Phil Berger confirms timing. #ncpol #SB20
Each senator will have 10 minutes of speaking, allowing Dems to drag out process for 3 hrs and 20 mins.

After it clears Senate, it moves to House, which can essentially call a vote without such notice. Previous session rules had 24-hr notice, which is no longer required. #ncpol

Cotham resented attacks she received following her absence on a gun bill override vote. “People don’t care about the facts,” Cotham told me in a text message last week. “They will say whatever they want, they will be cruel, they are now attacking my family and children.” #ncpol

1/4 Not sure who this may help or bring comfort to, but I wanted to share this: In July 2018 outside a Sacramento, California, DMV office, I met Tyré Nichols. He had been waiting 6+ hours in miserable 98-degree heat...
2/ His story and those of others that day was the first of what would become 40ish articles from me holding the California DMV accountable for their actions. Nichols unknowingly contributed to setting in motion a series of stories that would better the lives of many Californians.
3/ I'm hoping this could bring comfort to those who knew him well or didn't know him at all but are impacted by the situation in Memphis. I'll remember him as an upbeat and remarkably patient young man, despite navigating a difficult circumstance. May his memory be a blessing.

JUST IN: Columbus, Robeson and Wilson counties will begin reporting results at 8:30pm tonight. As of now, all other NC counties are set to begin reporting at 7:30pm. #ncpol #Election2022 @WRAL
So what does this mean and why did this happen? There was either a technical or logistical issue at one precinct in each of these three counties that impacted voting access. As a result, state elections officials extended voting.
Biggest impact will likely be that it may take a little longer to know who won #NC01. Wilson Co. went for Biden by 3 points in 2020. The race between Democrat Don Davis and Republican Sandy Smith is considered the second-most competitive congressional race in the state. #ncpol
