NC News Roundup: Resolution in NC Supreme Court saga; Sen. Thom Tillis again breaks with President Trump
Description
On the North Carolina News Roundup... A resolution in the state Supreme Court race, six months after Election Day. Jefferson Griffin, the Republican challenger, conceded defeat to Allison Riggs, the Democratic incumbent. Griffin lost in November and spent months exhausting legal challenges. There is new oversight at the NC State Board of Elections, with Republicans now in control. What does that mean in a state that is often home to razor-thin margins? And US Senator Thom Tillis breaks again with the president. Co-host Jeff Tiberii talks with a panel of journalists about those stories and more, on Due South.
