“Roy Cooper officially entered the race for North Carolina’s Senate seat on Monday, announcing his candidacy with a video posted to social media. … Cooper jumped into the race after Republican Sen. Thom Tillis announced last month he wouldn’t seek reelection after President Donald Trump publicly attacked him for voting not to advance his ‘big, beautiful bill.’ Democrats were desperate for Cooper to make his announcement, noting his in-state popularity and his ability to draw in major donors.” (07/28/25)
