Is it weird that I see nothing objectionable about this one? Looks solid to me, other than bypassing a Senate vote.

There has to be some Monkey’s Paw here somewhere, but I’m not immediately seeing it.

    When Kamala Harris and Donald Trump campaigned in North Carolina, both candidates courted a state-recognized tribe there whose 55,000 members could have helped tip the swing state.

    Trump in September promised that he would sign legislation to grant federal recognition to the Lumbee Tribe, a distinction that would unlock access to federal funds. He ultimately won North Carolina by more than 3 percentage points, in part due to continued support from Lumbee voters.
