      Besides Maine, North Carolina is the most likely Senate seat to flip from Republican to Democratic in the midterm elections this year, especially since Roy Cooper is an incredibly popular ex-governor. Democrats will need to flip 4 seats (as well as hold all of their current seats) in order to win control of the US Senate. It’ll be tough, but if 2026 is a big enough blue wave, it could definitely happen.

      With ~92% of the vote. Should be easy to rally support for the general.

      I fear that the split Texas primary will disillusion a lot of voters for the general. Too bad, because both candidates are great in their own respects. I hope to be proven wrong.

      Is this guy just some worthless establishment dem that will keep voting to fund ICE while wagging his finger?

      Cooper is very popular in NC. Both my trump voting parents voted for him for Governor. But NC has this weird thing where we like Dems at the state level but not federal. Not even just Trump, in the last couple of senate elections, we went with the Republican, even in 2022 when we had two new candidates for both parties. 2026 will also be a mid term election as 2022 was. But Cooper’s name carries a lot more weight than Beasley, and that should help get Dems out to vote, because they believe he can win.

      I have no skin in the game for him and I know how insanely popular he is but MSNOW asked him if he were involved in the war powers act vote how would he vote and he completely dodged it by talking local issues and affordability. Just answer the damn question and move on. Just disappointing from someone so popular.

      Growing up my small rural nc town – he was especially favored by teachers, a lot of whom have since voted for Trump . So, I think a lot of people feel safe and seen with him as a senator because of his decorum and what felt like a genuine sense of duty for the state as governor. It speaks to how well he can reach people from deep red to deep blue. This is a relief

      What is going on with all the worried/sad faces behind him….sans the one dude that is clearly simping for him.

      So this is a pretty sure thing for Democrats, right? At least it looks like the race will lean Democrat? If so they need Maine and Texas (not sure things)—where’s the fourth flip likely to happen? Assuming, of course, they keep Michigan’s Senate seat.

      Coop is a great candidate.  He was my governor for 2 terms and did a great job.  He is decent, fair, and cares about the citizens. We need more politicians like him.

      Idk I read this name as that one racist guy who Jimmy Kimmel took on years back. I totally forget his name…Roy…. Something?

      The Republican who likes creeping on kids at malls? I now realize that doesn’t narrow it down much
