Ready or not, we’re days away from the North Carolina polls opening for the 2024 Primary Election. Early voting begins Feb. 15 with the primary on March 5. With that comes a deluge of information — often in the form of TV ads — about candidates, their positions and their endorsements. It can be hard for the average voter to discern who is behind the endorsements and how important they really are. To break it all down, McClatchy D.C. correspondent Danielle Battaglia joins Under the Dome, along with The Charlotte Observer's Kendrick Marshall and Mary Ramsey.

Host: Kyle Ingram

Guests: Danielle Battaglia, Kendrick Marshall, Mary Ramsey
