NC: SPRY Strategies: Trump +4, +8

[Tekken_Guy]

Yes, the questions are worded in a pro-Trump manner, but that doesn't explain away the fact that this is a pretty bad poll for Biden. While Biden doesn't need North Carolina's electoral votes, NC-SEN 2026 is going to be a crucial win for Democrats if they are to stay afloat in the Senate long-term. If we can't win the state for President, or even come close, Tillis will get a third term no matter what.

Tillis probably won’t even win the primary at this rate.

That would be good for republicans, Tillis is not a good fit for r trending ancestrally d groups

Depemds who they replace him with. Knowing the NRSC, it could be anywhere from a decent recruit to a concussed former football star who can’t speak coherent sentences, to a school shooter-vibes tech bro, or an accused child molester.

Or the person who just lost a gubernatorial election the previous cycle.

Honestly I’m expecting it to be Mark Robinson if he loses this year. Roy Cooper would wipe the floor with him in a Trump midterm, and probably stands a decent shot in a Biden one.

Has Cooper made any noise about running for senate?

We don't need NC, the state is moving right and as far as 26 goes with Trump not on the ballot we can target Cornyn

Reading between the lines, it’s pretty clear he’s weighing it. Most politicians flatly answer “no” if they’re not interested. Basically same reasons I expect Brian Kemp to run (or wants to run, rather. Trump openly prefers MTG for Senate in 2026 👀).

Democrats typically get their strongest Senate recruits, almost without fail. The pressure will be intense from national Dems for Cooper to run given the limited offensive options. Cooper and his wife are true-believer Democrats, and I don’t think it’ll be that hard of a sell to them.
