Sunday Edition: Behind the Blue Wave

Much has been said, written, posted, memed, and shouted into the ether about the election results. I’ve heard it called Blue Wave 2.0. The recently rebranded Washington Sun, formerly NOTUS, called it a “Bluenami.” The Assembly dubbed it the “Republicans’ Red Wedding” (if you missed the Game of Thrones reference, just know it’s a wedding, and it goes very badly). Though polling, pundits, and prediction markets all pointed to Democrats making significant gains this year, plenty of people — myself included — were genuinely shocked at how many races they won and by how much, from coast to coast, up and down the ballot, even in places you wouldn’t expect.

The U.S. Department of Energy announced a $237 million funding opportunity last Friday aimed at expanding domestic production of critical electrical equipment, reducing dependence on foreign suppliers, and addressing shortages that have complicated efforts to maintain and expand the nation’s power grid.

Charlotte's marathon is sold out. But organizers now face a course correction.

The Charlotte Marathon has a problem that would have seemed enviable not so long ago: Too many people want to run it. Running clubs have multiplied across Charlotte, introducing newcomers to the sport and helping turn marathon morning into something resembling a citywide reunion — and this year, weeks before race day, registration for the Nov. 14 event officially sold out when it hit a record-setting 13,250 runners. Now, under new ownership , organizers are contemplating future growth that could involve perhaps 20,000 participants, more visitors from outside North Carolina and a place among the country’s premier destination races. But between Miles 22 and 24, where the full-marathon course squeezes onto a narrow stretch of greenway connecting NoDa to uptown, Charlotte’s ambitions run into a physical barrier. And that, according to the woman responsible for making the race work, is where ambition encounters reality. “The greenway is our clog point,” says Alaina Williams, who oversees operations for the Charlotte Marathon, noting that the width of the asphalt path is eight feet. “I cannot put any more runners on the greenway. Physically, it will not fit.” It’s one of several obstacles confronting a race whose popularity is testing the limits of
