Former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper is expected to attend and speak at the North Carolina Democratic Party's Unity Dinner on Saturday, July 26.
A new poll of North Carolina voters showed that former Governor Roy Cooper, a Democrat, would be tied with a generic Republican in the state's 2026 Senate race.
Cooper was presented as a possible running mate for Kamala Harris in 2024, but ultimately that position went to Governor Tim Walz.
Since Sen. Thom Tillis said he wouldn’t seek a third term, eyes have been on the former North Carolina governor to run in the Democratic primary.
