Trump Backs Balkcom; $300M for Rail; Judge Rules on NC Fisheries

President Donald Trump has endorsed Republican Jennifer Balkcom in North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District, while new questions are emerging over campaign funds connected to outgoing Congressman Chuck Edwards and a Las Vegas trip. Meanwhile, North Carolina has secured nearly $300 million in federal funding for rail safety improvements and track upgrades across the state. Mitch Kokai of the John Locke Foundation joins the program to discuss a major court ruling finding that North Carolina has failed to meet its constitutional obligation to maintain and protect the state’s fisheries. Plus, a judge has ruled that former Governor Roy Cooper will not be forced to testify in the ongoing lawsuit brought by bar owners over COVID-era shutdown restrictions.
