Anderson ClaytonGUEST
Make sure if you see something that you say something at the polls this year.

But we have seen, uh, anyone that was turned away was able to get out and vote once they called the hotline and reported it.
Jonathan CapehartHOST

Jane CoastonHOST
A spokesperson for the Trump brothers told ABC News, quote, "Don and Eric are experienced business leaders who have built and invested in businesses across a wide range of industries for decades, long before their father first ran for public office." Sure.
Jane CoastonHOST

Sean CoffeyCORRESPONDENT
And this was the same message we heard from Democratic leadership at the General Assembly earlier this morning, with several lawmakers pointing out that a special session has not been called in North Carolina since 2018.
Sean CoffeyCORRESPONDENT
This morning, State Democratic Party Chair Anderson Clayton called the special session a political ploy and urged North Carolina voters not to fall into what she called a trap.
Akilah DavisCORRESPONDENT
When this legislature wants to talk about lowering costs for North Carolinians in a comprehensive way, maybe folks could start to believe them.
Akilah DavisCORRESPONDENT
But I hope that nobody is buying what Republicans are trying to do right now in this legislature, which is cover the fact that they've not done a thing for people across North Carolina for the last nine months or the last two years that they've had the power that they could in this state.
Richard ChewHOST
So, so let me ask you a question that's, that's about unity.
Richard ChewHOST
And I mentioned, uh, Curtis Hertel in, in Michigan, and there's others that I've talked to in terms of Democratic chairs, um, obviously in your neighboring state with Anderson Clayton.
Richard ChewHOST
How are you guys working together? What, what, what's, what are your phone calls and Zoom meetings and, and so forth looking like right now when it comes to unification of the party and bringing us all together?
Christale SpainGUEST
You know, we're all members of the Association of Democratic, uh, Chairs, so we meet all the time.
Kimberly HardyGUEST
Mm-hmm
Richard ChewHOST
... and your, your connection with, with Anderson Clayton and all the rest.
Richard ChewHOST
But I just wanna come back to something that you said.
Richard ChewHOST
The reason that Justice Earls, for anybody in the country that's listening or following this, is important is because she's part of the firewall to protect gerrymandering and redistricting-
Richard ChuHOST
And I want to circle back to something about Justice Earls.
Richard ChuHOST
And I know we're talking about your election, but I know that your involvement in state politics goes beyond just your campaign and your connection with Anderson Clayton and all the rest.
Richard ChuHOST
But I just want to come back to something that you said.
Richard ChuHOST
The reason that Justice Earls, for anybody in the country that's listening or following this, is important is because she's part of the firewall to protect gerrymandering and redistricting in the state of North Carolina.

Her name has been a name that I've been familiar with for probably about almost a year now.
Richard ChuHOST
Anderson Clayton, who is the chair of the Democratic Party in North Carolina, has really been working her tail off to make sure that everybody that's a strong Democrat in North Carolina gets elected.
Richard ChuHOST
And Justice Earls is going to be with us in the 730 hour to talk about.

What's happening in the legal system in North Carolina, the broader country, and, of course, a little bit about her reelection campaign.
