Scorecard: Potential Veto Overrides Coming on Firearms, Immigration, Diversity

In Raleigh, state legislators return July 29 to pursue veto overrides, with Republicans aiming to override multiple vetoes by Gov. Josh Stein.
In the session ending June 26, Stein vetoed 14 bills, including seven from the House and seven from the Senate.
In cultural and safety measures, the vetoed bills include permitless carry, DEI prohibitions and border enforcement, all among the vetoed measures.
With a supermajority in the North Carolina Senate and one vote short in the House, overrides require full attendance and support from at least one House Democrat, while Speaker Destin Hall said, 'we'll go ahead and take up the overrides.'
Potential policy changes from override wins could reshape North Carolina politics ahead of the 2026 elections, as the GOP-led General Assembly aims to override Governor Stein's vetoes. Successful overrides would mark a significant political victory and may reignite partisan tensions.
