THE HILL: Roy Cooper Entrance Gives Democrats Hope More Senate Recruiting Wins are on the Way

July 30, 2025

Senate Democrats received a massive boost as former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) announced he will be entering the race for Senate, delivering the party its biggest recruiting victory of the cycle. 

Speculation surrounding a possible Cooper bid hit a fever pitch in recent weeks after Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) announced that he would not be running for reelection.

ROKK Senior Vice President John LaBombard spoke with The Hill about what Cooper’s recruitment means for Democrats and the possibility of flipping the Senate.
