Former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper’s (D) Senate campaign announced it raised more than $3.4 million in the 24 hours since launching Monday.
Cooper’s campaign said it raised $2.6 million for his Senate campaign plus an additional $900,000 for the Democratic Party. Ninety-five percent of the individual donations that came into the campaign in the first 24 hours were $100 or less, according to the campaign.
The former governor’s campaign called the haul “a testament” to Cooper’s “strong and deep support across North Carolina.”
“I have thought on it and prayed about it, and I have decided: I want to serve as your next United States senator, because, even now, I still believe our best days are ahead,” Cooper said in his campaign launch video.
Cooper jumped into the race for North Carolina’s open seat Monday in what has been called a recruitment win for Democrats. Sen. Thom Tillis (R) announced last month that he would not seek another term for office, opening the seat.
The field on the Democratic side of the aisle has cleared for Cooper, with former Rep. Wiley Nickel (D-N.C.) dropping his bid Tuesday.
“It was an honor to work alongside Gov. Cooper in the state Senate and in Congress,” Nickel said in a statement. “I’ve seen firsthand his steady, bipartisan leadership. He listens, he shows up, and he gets things done.”
A source familiar told The Hill that Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley is set to launch a bid for the seat. The source said President Trump has given his blessing for Whatley to run for the seat after his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, decided against launching a campaign of her own.

“Former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper’s (D) Senate campaign announced it raised more than $3.4 million in the 24 hours since launching Monday.”
Yeah? Raised it from whom?
Here comes Aw sucks Roy. Putting his facade. Women will eat it up. Then his mask will come off after the election.
The GOP sucks. They can't expect Trump to do everything.
The Democrats are in disarray but their organization is superior.
That formula is effective.
Hillary and Kamala couldn't pull that off.
Ninety-five percent of the individual donations that came into the campaign in the first 24 hours were $100 or less, according to the campaign.
Big-name candidate in a not-so-red state in what is likely to be a blue wave year. He’ll probably be a Senator, unless he really face-plants before November 2026.
“He listens, he shows up, and he gets things done.”
Should read.
“He listens, he shows up, and rides the Democrat rails.”
They would be exchanging one Thom Tillis for another.
Then repeal the 19th...
Blue wave year? Doubt it. Denms approval rating is in the toilet.
In NC maybe. It’s an iffy state.

With all of the bad news for their team the Surrender Monkeys are dancing and whooping it up. Republicans will lose just because Cooper announced!
What issue does he run on?
Where else does his money come from? At least five 80/20 issues will hang around his neck.Cheating will be very difficult if not impossible.
Sing and dance now Surrender Monkeys because truth will hit Cooper in the teeth soon enough.
