Democrats Catch a Break in North Carolina Roy Cooper can flip the Senate seat

Democrats should fully embrace a big tent party, one that has a place for Cooper AND Mamdani. Democrats need both vs. corrupt oligarchy, No one expects a Mamdani to run in NC or Cooper in NYC so why attack a candidate who is suited to his jurisdiction?

I just donated to help Democrat Roy Cooper FLIP the U.S. Senate! Will you join us and chip in? Show your support with a contribution.

I believe that Americaโ€™s best days are still ahead, but only if we fix whatโ€™s broken now.

Right wing Republicans are ready to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to defeat us, but I know that together we can win. Become a founder donor of our historic campaign today.

As governor, we expanded Medicaid to more than 650,000 people in North Carolina.

Now itโ€™s at risk as Washington Republicans slashed billions from Medicaid to give more tax breaks to billionaires.

Iโ€™m running for Senate to fight back. You with me?

Thatโ€™s right. Cut this lying lunatic off!

Every self-respecting news network should cut Trump off and fact-check him in real time. MSNBC did it right!

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation Iโ€™ve seen. It โ€˜s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

The reason we fight against fascism is because of love. Love for our friends and family. Our children deserve better than this. They deserve not to live in a place where they must fear getting shot. We love them. So we have to win. And in time, we will. The axe forgets but the tree remembers.

Billionaires and CEOs know Trump and Republicans are gutting Medicaid and SNAP to pay for their tax cuts.

So where are the billionaires who should be saying, โ€œWaitโ€ฆdonโ€™t cut my taxes if it means kids go hungry or die from treatable cancerโ€?

This is why the rich are villainized by every day folks.
