With a momentous year in politics now underway, Charlotte Talks will be spending every Monday looking at the 2020 election. Let's start off with what's on the ballot and what's at stake in North Carolina.
Think the 2020 election is still a ways off in North Carolina? Guess again.
The state's Super Tuesday Democratic presidential primary is less than two months away, and early voting ballots are going out Monday.
North Carolina will have the third-most delegates up for grabs in the primary, which takes place just days after South Carolina's historically pivotal primary.
The primary will also set the field for a closely-watched U.S. Senate race that could set another spending record.
After years of court fights over gerrymandering, new political maps for Congress and the state legislature will be in effect.
And that's just a snapshot of the year ahead in politics.
