Under the Dome podcast: TikTok, Jeff Jackson and a different NC legislature this week
On the new episode of Under the Dome, The News & Observer’s North Carolina politics podcast, host Dawn Vaughan talks with her politics teammate Danielle Battaglia for the week of Monday, April 17, 2023.
Vaughan, the Capitol bureau chief, and Battaglia, the Washington correspondent, break down the big changes with now-Republican Rep. Tricia Cotham’s party switch. The N&O team wrote follow up stories about what led to the change and what that means as the General Assembly reconvenes this week after its spring break.
Plus hear from Battaglia about how and why Democratic U.S. Rep. Jeff Jackson got in hot water — according to his Republican colleagues, at least — over his use of the social media platform TikTok.
Headliner of the Week
Stay tuned to the end to hear Vaughan and Battaglia’s picks for Headliner of the Week. One a is a very serious national security breach and the other is a very unserious breach of a vehicle by a North Carolina mammal.
