Local Political & State Shakeups On The Brett Winterble Show

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show!

Brett kicks off the program joined by John Stewart from the North Carolina political arena to talk about the statewide Senate race and the stunning shakeups in the General Assembly. The two dive straight into the U.S. Senate contest, breaking down Michael Whatley’s commanding primary performance and the looming general election battle against Governor Roy Cooper. Stewart argues that despite Cooper’s decades of statewide victories, a narrow early polling margin should raise eyebrows and signals a far more competitive race than many expected.

The conversation then turns to major legislative surprises, including a wave of incumbent losses and the razor-thin outcome in the race involving longtime Senate leader Phil Berger. Stewart highlights the historic implications of Berger’s potential defeat, calling it one of the biggest political upsets North Carolina has seen in decades. Together, Brett and Stewart analyze what these results mean for power dynamics in Raleigh and the political battles ahead.
