Congressman Wiley Nickel announced that he is not running for reelection and instead is looking at running for North Carolina's U.S. Senate seat that's up for election in 2026. His district was affected by redistricting this year, going from a toss up district to a solidly Republican one. 

Nickel joins us to discuss the decision.

Plus, candidate filing for 2024 races wraps in North Carolina on Friday, giving us a better idea of what those races will look like over the next 12 months. Former Republican National Committee Spokesperson Doug Heye and Dr. Chris Cooper, a professor of politics at Western Carolina University, stop by with more on next year's races.
