The word "Due" read from top-down and "South" left-right, with the U shared between them. Reminiscent of a compass.

NC News Roundup: Cooper on VP shortlists; Trump campaigns in Charlotte; Olympians with Carolina connections

United State's Joel Embiid, right, tries to get by Bam Adebayo, left, as assistant coach Erik Spoelstra watches during men's basketball practice at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Wednesday, July 24, 2024, in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, France.

On this week’s North Carolina News Roundup, it was another monumental week in politics with Vice President Harris now likely to be at the top of the Democratic ticket and Governor Cooper on the shortlist to be her running mate. Former President Trump campaigned in Charlotte, and on Capitol Hill a North Carolina Congresswoman boycotted the address given by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. We hear about chancellor updates across the UNC system and other higher education news from the week. Plus, several local athletes head to Paris for the Olympics.
