Gov. Roy Cooper Predicts Harris Will Become President
Is Trump Really At A Disadvantage?
On Sunday, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper (D) asserted that if Vice President Kamala Harris wins North Carolina in the upcoming general election, she will be the next President of the United States. Speaking to CBS News's Margaret Brennan, Cooper expressed his belief that Harris has a strong chance of gaining voter support in North Carolina, highlighting her frequent visits to the state as evidence of her commitment.
Cooper, during an appearance on "Face the Nation," affirmed that North Carolinians are receptive to persuasion and are closely watching the political landscape. He pointed out that North Carolina was the narrowest loss for Biden-Harris in the 2020 election, with a margin of only 1.3 percent. Harris’s repeated visits to North Carolina, totaling 17, underscore her recognition of the state's significance.
According to Cooper, winning North Carolina is crucial for Harris, as it would secure her path to the presidency, given that former President Trump would have no other viable route to victory. Trump had secured North Carolina's 15 electoral votes in 2020 by a narrow margin of less than 100,000 votes, translating to a 1.3 percentage-point difference. Since 1980, the state has only supported a Democrat once—in 2008, when Barack Obama narrowly defeated John McCain.
Recently, the Cook Political Report adjusted its forecast for North Carolina, changing its status from "lean Republican" to "toss-up." Despite this shift, Trump currently leads Harris in the state according to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ's polling average, with Trump at 48.6 percent and Harris at 48.3 percent.
Cooper, who had been speculated as a potential Democratic vice-presidential candidate, believes that as more North Carolinians become aware of Harris’s campaign and her plans to reduce costs and support the middle class, her poll numbers will improve. He emphasized that Harris’s economic proposals, aimed at lowering living costs and supporting families, along with her stance on protecting women’s reproductive rights, will resonate with voters and enhance her prospects in North Carolina.
