Has Nickel shown any indication if he'd jump in with or without Cooper? He seemed all but certain to run up until recently.

He has opened an exploratory committee for 2026, but if Cooper decides to run for Tillis’ seat, Nickel will endorse him.

I want Nickel to run against Budd in 2028.

I strongly prefer Jeff Jackson run vs. Budd. He’s now won statewide and has strong fundraising skills. He’s also better liked in local circles (at least here in Charlotte)

Seems like Jeff Jackson is following the route to becoming the next governor in NC which is the AG roll like his predecessor have done

That's what I'm thinking. If 2028 is 2008 2.0 Democrats may sweep all NC major statewide offices, including other Senate seat. 💙🙏

A 2nd term as AG if he wants it starts out at Likely D.
