On the NC News Roundup...

The US Supreme Court has struck down much of President Trump's tariff regimen. We get reaction and implications for North Carolina.

A check-in on early primary voting. North Carolina vies for holding the first Democratic primary in the country in 2028.

And a roundup of Winter Olympics results, as the games near their end.

Due South co-host Jeff Tiberii and a panel of local journalists cover those stories and others in NC news this week.
