North Carolina swing voters want change in Washington, but they do not expect it to happen, according to a report from NPR. Swing voters are people who do not reliably back one party. NPR reported that they have low expectations that things will actually change under a divided Congress, meaning one in which no single party controls both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Congress is the national lawmaking body, and its two chambers must both agree before a bill can become law. NPR's report focuses on how voters in North Carolina are thinking about the coming period in Washington.

The story was reported by Mara Liasson and Scott Detrow of NPR. It was published on November 11, 2026.
