Republicans winning supermajorities in the state legislature would allow them to override Cooper's veto.
North Carolina's Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper isn't on the ballot this November, but the threat of Republicans winning supermajorities in the state legislature — empowering them to override his veto — means he might as well be.In a potentially tough year for incumbent governors, Cooper — the head of the Democratic Governors Association — still has ambitious goals of winning races across the country.
Cooper pledges to veto Republicans' "cruel and extreme" abortion restrictions, before warning: "But I need enough senators to uphold it."After the Supreme Court’s ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, the visceral fight over reproductive rights is taking place both at the national and state level. In Wisconsin, Republicans need one seat in the Senate and five in the House to achieve a supermajority.Republicans are less interested in supermajorities and more focused on flipping control of the legislature. In Virginia, a one seat shift in the Senate could give Gov. Glenn Youngkin a majority.
