Former NC Gov. Jim Hunt dead at 88 Former Gov. Jim Hunt, who redefined the office of governor in North Carolina, championed public education and helped focus the state's economy on high-tech industries, has died. He was 88.

Governor Jim Hunt was nothing short of an icon in NC politics. An absolute legend loved by many. His death is a huge loss to our state. Our thoughts are with his family and Lt. Governor Rachel Hunt. Rest in Peace.

I’m surprised Witkoff managed to get that sentence out with how much he’s choking on Trump’s c-

Hold on

I’m being told by our advisors to not finish the previous sentence

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
