Podcast appearances and mentions of Roy Cooper

Earlier this month, former Congressman Wiley Nickel became the first Democrat to officially launch a campaign in North Carolina's 2026 U.S. Senate race. He's an attorney and former Barack Obama aide who represented Wake County in the state Senate before being elected to Congress in 2022 from one of the state's only swing districts. He spoke with WUNC about how he plans to take on incumbent Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, the prospects that former Gov. Roy Cooper could enter the race, and what he thinks Democrats should do differently to fight the Trump administration. 

Tune in here to this Friday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show Chad Adams Filling in!!! Chad Adams, filling in for Brett Winterble today, kicks off the program talking about the Democratic Party's perceived political missteps and reactions to President Trump’s rhetoric. Adams argues that Democrats often react emotionally rather than with a clear governing philosophy, claiming they oppose Trump initiatives out of reflex rather than reason. He criticizes figures like Bernie Sanders and suggests the party is moving away from mainstream positions it once held. Shifting to North Carolina politics, We're joined by North Carolina Representative Charlie Miller, who represents parts of New Hanover and Brunswick Counties.to discuss the tone of the current legislative session under Governor Josh Stein, which Miller says feels more cooperative compared to the more combative atmosphere under former Governor Roy Cooper. Miller notes that while the House is one vote shy of a supermajority, some Democrats have been willing to work across the aisle. He anticipates future tension around hot-button issues like DEI, constitutional carry, and school book review policies, but says for now, cooperation is steady. We're also joined rajesh p. n. rao co-founder and CEO of World Class Health, to discuss his innovative approach to making healthcare more affordable. Rao began his journey in the early 2000s, inspired by the growing crisis of high deductibles and unaffordable care, even for the insured. He co-founded a company that partnered with self-insured employers to offer employees access to high-quality, lower-cost medical procedures abroad. Hospitals in locations like Costa Rica, Mexico, and the Cayman Islands provided care that often exceeded U.S. standards, with lower infection rates and faster recovery times.

Here's what makes North Carolina, with its 16 Electoral College votes, unique among the electoral battlegrounds this year.Come election night, it will be one of the first of the closely fought states where the polls will close, giving the campaigns, and the public, early clues on where the night is headed.The state is probably the best opportunity for Democrats to win a state this year that they didn't win in 2020, and the party — along with the state's Democratic governor — is optimistic that demographic shifts in the state might favor Kamala Harris.North Carolina is still reeling from Hurricane Helene, which hit late last month, caused an estimated $53 billion in damages and upended early voting plans in the western — and heavily Republican-leaning — part of the state. It also led to a flood of misinformation about the governor, Roy Cooper, and the federal disaster response.On today's show, how Hurricane Helene and the misinformation that followed have reshaped the election landscape in this crucial battleground state — and changed the closing messages from both parties.On today's episode:Gov.

We're talking to candidates for key downballot races on the WUNC Politics Podcast as part of our Down The Ballot series. Next up: The race for attorney general. North Carolina's attorney general is a key – and powerful – position in the state. In addition to being the state's top lawyer, it's also been a launch pad to the governor's office. Gov. Roy Cooper had the job for 16 years, and the current occupant of the office – Josh Stein – is the leading candidate to become the next governor. That's part of why this year's race for Attorney General is drawing two Congressmen, Democrat Jeff Jackson and Republican Dan Bishop, and millions of dollars in campaign spending. WUNC's Rusty Jacobs spoke with Jackson about his campaign; Bishop cancelled scheduled interviews with WUNC but this episode includes clips of his comments.Sign up for our free, weekly WUNC Politics Newsletter here to read more from the Down The Ballot series.

In just over a week, intensified Israeli air and missile strikes in Lebanon have killed seven high-ranking commanders and officials from the Hezbollah terrorist group, including the group's leader, Hassan Nasrallah. The move has left Lebanon and much of the Middle East in shock as Israeli officials celebrated significant military and intelligence breakthroughs. Hurricane Helene has left a trail of destruction across the Southeast, killing at least 95 people across six states with hundreds still missing. As states begin the recovery process, floods have left some areas cut off and without food and water. North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said he expects the death toll to rise as rescue workers reach areas cut off by collapsed roads and bridges amid widespread flooding. Vice President Kamala Harris took the stage in Las Vegas on Sunday night in her second visit to the city since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee. With Nevada's six electoral college votes in play, the state could prove critically important in a close race. Meanwhile, Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump rallied in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, making his fourth trip in a month to the hotly contested state. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

When President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and the Democratic party rallied around Kamala Harris as his replacement, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper was widely considered to be a top choice to serve as Harris's running mate. But Cooper did something unusual: he told the Harris team he didn't want to be considered as her running mate. On this episode of Deep Dive, host and Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza talks to Cooper about why he took himself out of contention and how some weird local politics influenced his decision.  Also discussed in this episode of the show: Cooper's conversations with Harris, Biden, and Nancy Pelosi as Democratic leaders navigated the post-debate crisis that lead to Harris's ascension; how Cooper coached the president in the last days of Biden's campaign; and whether or not you should believe the hype about Democrats flipping North Carolina this year. Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO. Roy Cooper is the governor of North Carolina. Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio.  Alex Keeney is a senior producer for POLITICO audio.

In a matter of days, Kamala Harris will officially announce her running mate. But ahead of the unveiling, speculation is rampant in Washington about who she'll pick and why. National politics correspondent Adam Wren walks Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza through Harris' VP shortlist and what each of them brings to the table — or not.

In a record-breaking week, Kamala Harris has united the Democratic party behind her, with significant momentum and grassroots support. Former Senator Claire McCaskill and former White House Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri liken it to the energy felt in the Obama campaign, especially as online support grows organically among younger voters. They also take a beat to reflect on President Biden's heartfelt address to the nation Wednesday night, and the legacy he leaves after decades of public service. Then, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz stops by, to chat veepstakes, explain the Democratic Convention rules, and highlight some important governors' races to watch in November. And lastly, Claire and Jen dispel the myth of the vice president as a ‘DEI' candidate with a reality check: JD Vance is the candidate who's been handed everything he has.Further reading: As promised, here is Governor Tim Walz' winning hotdish recipe from the Minnesota Congressional Delegation's Hotdish Off:  Turkey Trot Tater Tot Hotdish.
