An advisor for Cooper told QCN that, “he would be making his intentions known in the coming days” whether he would announce a run for the U.S. Senate.
North Carolina will have an opening in Congress in 2026, as senior Sen. Thom Tillis announced earlier this month that he would not seek a third term. The Republican’s announcement came amid the passage of President Donald Trump’s megabill, with aspects of which he would not support.
As his time as governor wound down last year, Cooper was presented as a possible running mate for Kamala Harris in 2024, but ultimately that position went to Governor Tim Walz. Cooper accepted a faculty position with Harvard University, but still introduced Harris as the presidential nominee at the Democratic National Convention.
Gov. Josh Stein, who served as attorney general under Cooper, commented on the rumblings of his predecessor.
“I worked for Roy Cooper when he was attorney general for eight years. … I think the world of Roy Cooper, I think he is an amazing person as well as public official,” he said. “So there is one North Carolina voter who would be thrilled to be able to cast his vote for him, as Roy Cooper’s decision to make. We’ll see what he does.”
Cooper is scheduled to speak at a dinner hosted by the North Carolina Democrats in Raleigh Saturday.
