North Carolina, it’s official: Roy Cooper is running for Senate!

Cooper is the strongest possible candidate for this race, with a winning record to run on and an unmatched electoral record in the state. Tillis’ retirement was already a blow to Republicans’ chance of winning this seat, and now those chances are even worse.

Taking back the Senate majority would be a significant limit on the damage Trump can inflict.

But I wonder how long until he is accused of being the “next Manchin”?
