I've gotten two mailings (I live in Nickel's old district) in the past 4-6 weeks. Every indication is that he's running, and is reasonably sure Gov. Cooper will not.
Cooper hasn't grown fonder of Washington, DC (or big cities in general) as he's gotten older, I think is safe to presume.

He at the very least didn't shut down the idea. This was published yesterday.
"“I’m going to take the next two months and not make any decisions about going forward. I’ve been in public service a while. I’m going to take some time to see what the next chapter is. For me, I want to continue to make a difference,” Cooper told The N&O in mid-December. And, (running for Senate) “will be one of the things I look at as a potential.”
Next time I am in the office, I will try to run down one of my lobbyist buddies (one for each side of the aisle, they both voted for Stein, though) and see if there's anything to it. They always have told me unequivaocally that Cooper would never "go national."
