Helene relief, vetoes will be challenges for new North Carolina House speaker

The North Carolina House elected Rep. Destin Hall as the new Speaker, marking the first change in 10 years, succeeding Tim Moore after his five terms as Speaker.
The General Assembly will focus on recovery from Hurricane Helene, with over $1 billion approved for aid, as pledged by both Hall and Sen. Phil Berger.
Democrats now have enough seats to potentially block Republican measures, with Governor Josh Stein expected to be more effective in vetoing legislation.
Hall expressed hope for bipartisan support on hurricane relief and other issues, aiming to make it easier for residents to achieve the American Dream.
