Who cares what Vance says? I don’t.

JD Vance blames Roy Cooper for...
This is so dumb it's funny. Roy Cooper looks & acts like a cross between Andy Griffith & your granddad. He's also never worked in politics outside the state. This ain't gonna stick. 🤣 Warning: Xitter screenshot. #RoyCooper #NCpol #USpol
John Kasich revealed that Thom Tillis’ potential reelection could have deterred Roy Cooper from entering the 2026 Senate race. Trump's threats against Tillis changed the game, paving the way for Cooper, who raised $3.4 million in just 24 hours. Democrats see this as vital to regain control, especially with healthcare concerns looming. The GOP, with uncertain candidates, faces real challenges ahead.

BREAKING: Trump Gets NIGHTMARE...
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina) warns GOP challengers about critical missteps for the 2026 Senate race in North Carolina. With former Governor Roy Cooper launching a well-supported campaign, the competition is fierce. Tillis acknowledges the tough battle ahead, especially as Republicans grapple with electability concerns and divisive issues. The race promises to be costly and pivotal for Senate dominance.

Lara Trump abruptly withdrew from the North Carolina Senate race after President Trump opted to endorse RNC chair Michael Whatley instead. She had been considered a frontrunner to replace retiring Sen. Thom Tillis, but insiders say Whatley’s donor network sealed the deal. Now Democrats hope to flip the seat with former Gov. Roy Cooper’s expected run. Lara, meanwhile, has shifted toward entertainment, launching a Fox News talk show and releasing Christian pop singles. Curious how this affects the GOP’s 2025 landscape?

"This is a flat out lie"
#NorthCarolina Governor #RoyCooper on Trump's lies about #HurricaneHelena aid.
Posted on 10-11-2024
"This is a flat out lie. We’re working with all partners around the clock to get help to people. Trump’s lies and conspiracy theories have hurt the morale of first responders and people who lost everything, helped scam artists and put government and rescue workers in danger. - RC "
#Trump #uspol deadly #disinformation
[Fact Check] No #votes, no #aid?
No, 2020 #votes didn’t determine #disasterrelief #delivery in #NorthCarolina #counties.
North Carolina’s Democratic governor, #RoyCooper, requested a #federal major #disaster #declaration on Sept. 27 and #President #JoeBiden #approved it the next day. "Twenty-five counties were included in the #declaration, regardless of how they voted in the 2020 presidential election."
— This claim is false
The former #POTUS #DonaldJTrump has made an outrageous claim that the #Democrat #Governor of #NorthCarolina, #RoyCooper, and the #Federal #Government, are “going out of their way to not help people in #Republican areas” following #HurricaneHelene (1).
Remember that every accusation is a confession. During the early period of #COVID the Republican #Trump #Administration reportedly baulked at a large-scale national plan in response to the #pandemic because the #virus seemed to initially favour #Democratic #states and was not (then) affecting Republican states (2, see also image).
Here in #Australia, we had a #conservative prime minister that in 2022 was faced with massive #floods and politicised the response to them: funding his party’s seats and states but not the other party’s seats and states (3). What happened to that prime minister is instructive: he led his party to the next #election and was soundly defeated: recording the worst result for Australia’s centre-right governing parties in seventy years.

Good comment from #RoyCooper re VP pick. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/05/harris-running-mate-tour-decision/
Aww, #RoyCooper is out.
I am proud of him, and was looking forward to sharing him with everyone!
"This just wasn't the right time for #NorthCarolina and for me to potentially be on a national ticket," said Cooper. "As I've said from the beginning, she has an outstanding list of people from which to choose, and we'll all work to make sure she wins."
