An NC senate race will never be an easy pickup. Sure, with Cooper Dems might have a slight edge but it would almost certainly be a close and hard fought fight.

Anderson Clayton has done an amazing job revitalizing the state Democratic Party since she was elected in 2023. I think if Cooper entered the race, he would win by roughly the same margin Jeff Jackson did for AG last year.

People forget that Tillis won by the skin of his teeth in both R-favorable years (2014 midterms and 2020 presidential). In a D-favorable midterm with a candidate like Cooper, he's toast. With Wiley Nickel, it's a bit iffier.
