Roy Cooper officially launches North Carolina Senate bid

Roy Cooper Enters North Carolina Senate Race Amid Political Turmoil

On Monday, Roy Cooper officially threw his hat into the ring for North Carolina’s Senate seat, announcing his candidacy via a social media video that captures the essence of a moment fraught with political tension.

“Right now, our country is facing a moment as fragile as any I can remember, and the decisions we make in the next election will determine if we even have a middle class in America anymore,” said Cooper, whose entry into the race had been highly anticipated.

Cooper’s decision to run comes on the heels of Republican Senator Thom Tillis’s announcement last month that he would not seek reelection. This shift was largely catalyzed by President Donald Trump’s public denouncement of Tillis for not supporting his so-called “big, beautiful bill.” With Democrats eager for a formidable candidate, Cooper’s in-state popularity and fundraising prowess make him a key figure in the race.

In the announcement video, the former two-term Democratic governor emphasized his commitment to the middle class, expressing frustration with politicians in Washington who he claims have been reckless with the national debt, disrespectful to veterans, and jeopardizing crucial programs like Medicaid and Social Security.

Cooper’s entry could be a game-changer for Democrats aiming to regain a foothold in the Senate. The party has struggled to capture North Carolina since 2008, even as they have maintained control of the governor’s mansion through Cooper and his successor, Josh Stein.

In his video, Cooper highlighted his extensive experience in state politics, recalling his tenure as the state attorney general where he tackled crime and took on large corporations. He also pointed to his bipartisan efforts to balance the state budget and expand Medicaid during his governorship.

“I never really wanted to go to Washington. I just wanted to serve the people of North Carolina, right here where I’ve lived all my life. But these are not ordinary times,” Cooper remarked. However, he holds an optimistic view for the future, stating, “our best days are ahead of us.”

Despite his strong entry, Cooper may not have a clear path to the nomination. Former Representative Wiley Nickel had already announced his candidacy back in April and has evaded questions about stepping aside for Cooper, asserting that his experience flipping districts positions him as a viable candidate to reclaim the seat for Democrats.

On the Republican side, National Committee Chair Michael Whatley is poised to announce his own bid for the Senate seat soon, following Lara Trump’s decision not to run.

The National Republican Senate Committee wasted no time in criticizing Cooper, labeling him a “Democrat lapdog.” Joanna Rodriguez, the NRSC’s communications director, stated, “North Carolina wants a senator who will champion working families, safety, and American values, not an incompetent, far-left career politician like Cooper who will wreck everything they care about.”
