ROY COOPER IS LEADING in the first first poll for the #ussenate seat up for grabs here in North Carolina. The GOP is going to have to try a lot harder to beat Cooper statewide.

Carla Cunningham was the one vote Republicans needed to overturn Governor Josh Stein's veto on a bill that allowed ICE even more power in our state. Looks like we've got another DINO #democratinnameonly that we need to primary next year. Mecklenburg seems to have a fake Democrat problem.

Now that Roy Cooper has announced, Wiley Nickel has bounced. He's going to be running for Wake County DA, and this clears the field for Roy Cooper to run for Thom Tillis's old US Senate seat.

Looks like former NC Gov #roycooper is getting set to throw his hat in the ring for US Senate. Axios is reporting that he’ll be announcing next week, though I think he might announce at the #ncdp Unity Dinner. We’ll see. Exciting times. #ncpol #fyp #leftofoldnorth #dems #ncdems #midterms #ussenate

The members of the NCGA don’t make nearly as much as people think. Just a little under $14,000. What they do make is very much a barrier to everyday people being able to run for office. The people of NC deserve full time legislators and full time representation. #ncga #ncpol #leftofoldnorth #ncdp

The #ncgop in the #ncga know they can’t win based on policy. So what do they do? Their favorite pastime, make a power grab. Transferring power over the Board of Elections from the Governor to the State Auditor is just another way to cut the margins of our democracy. #ncpol #ncdems #ncdp #vote

This week we talked to WCU professor @chriscooperwcu.bsky.social about #ncpol and he echoed some of our same concerns about what the #griffinvriggs case did to people’s faith in our election system. #ncpol #leftofoldnorth #ncdems #fyp #ncdp #congress #ncsupremecourt #jeffersongriffin #allisonriggs

The #ncsupremecourt race may FINALLY BE OVER. Jefferson Griffin is now a certified 4x loser. Let's hope this one sticks or... is he gonna go for the record!?!

Only in North Carolina, y’all.

Republican commissioners in Cabarrus County just tried to appoint a new member before the seat was even vacant.

Yeah — they skipped public input, bent their own rules, and voted to install their pick while the old commissioner was still in office.
