Not only was it a major night for Democrats nationally, but also in local elections across North Carolina.

You won't read about about these in the headlines tomorrow, but NC Dems are continuing to lay impressive groundwork — building the bench and racking up wins.

I’m genuinely just sitting in the office in shock. We won everything. Young voters turned out in force for Dems.

We’ve never been so back.

The GOP was already freaking out about the impending Trump effect on the midterms.

Now they’re fucking terrified.

A moment of silence for all the refreshing buttons being pushed to their limits tonight.

Hi Simeon! If you don't live in the city limits, it's very likely you will not have a ballot for this year's municipal elections. If you're unsure, you can call the board of elections tomorrow, or the hotline.

The news about Rep. Cecil Brockman is sickening and horrifying.

He must resign immediately.

As @ydnc.bsky.social President @awbrakeley.bsky.social said, “anything less would be a continued insult to the victim, survivors, families, and to every person who believes in justice.”

Looks like former NC Gov #roycooper is getting set to throw his hat in the ring for US Senate. Axios is reporting that he’ll be announcing next week, though I think he might announce at the #ncdp Unity Dinner. We’ll see. Exciting times. #ncpol #fyp #leftofoldnorth #dems #ncdems #midterms #ussenate

Republicans are not unfamiliar with what's in their bills. they're very dangerously aware.

This week we talked to WCU professor @chriscooperwcu.bsky.social about #ncpol and he echoed some of our same concerns about what the #griffinvriggs case did to people’s faith in our election system. #ncpol #leftofoldnorth #ncdems #fyp #ncdp #congress #ncsupremecourt #jeffersongriffin #allisonriggs

so according to him, SCOTUS is "aiding and abetting a terrorist" since they ruled, 9-0 for DUE PROCESS

Here it is, folks. They're proudly saying if you support due process and you disagree with this administration's actions, you are now considered a terrorist.

Even the #Trump -friendly Supreme Court said what they're doing is illegal.

This is #fascism, and they're coming for YOU next.

The youth vote is splitting.
Young women are voting blue in record numbers.
Young men? They're drifting to the right — fast.

Read it on The Youth Observer:

Hi! Author here.
Definitely not pushing that. However youth voter engagement has been down year over year because we aren't represented as well as we could be. Congress is getting older partially because the same people that were in power before we were born still are.
*That* is what needs to change

100%
@abreezeclayton.bsky.social is amazing and can't wait to see what she does during the next 2 years.

Happy to be on board!

Make no mistake, the @northcarolinagop.bsky.social and their cronies on the Court of Appeals do not care about letting your vote count. Any voters you know who are overseas/military or who might have missing voter registration info need to know that they only have 15 days to fix said info. #ncpol

Chuck Hubbard smiling and with his arms folded in downtown Boone, North Carolina

My name is Chuck Hubbard. If we haven't yet met, I’m a North Carolinian, a retired newspaper reporter, and as of today, I'm the Democrat challenging MAGA extremist Virginia Foxx for North Carolina’s 5th Congressional District in 2026. #NCPol #VoteBlue #NC05

NC has joined this lawsuit. Statement from AG Jackson:

"My job is to be a shield for the people of North Carolina – and that includes protecting their health care. The fed gov can’t just cancel nearly a quarter billion dollars that have already been congressionally allocated to our state."

#ncpol

Had a great day canvassing with @mimelife.bsky.social, @awbrakeley.bsky.social and @ddale8.bsky.social! ☀️ North Carolinians deserve a senator who protects their health care (and isn’t afraid of meeting with his own constituents) #ncpol

So good to see folks turning out to make sure Johnstonians know how destructive Sen. Tillis and this administration is.

Time for him to be out of power.

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same

When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state
