Former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) hinted over the weekend that he plans to run for the open U.S. Senate seat in his state during the 2026 election cycle.
The popular governor spoke at the N.C. Democratic Party’s annual Unity Dinner Saturday night, amid reports that he plans to launch a Senate bid soon.
“Everybody who’s planning to run for office next year, please stand up,” Cooper asked the crowd.
He then added: “I’m not sitting down, am I?”
The crowd cheered and chanted, “Run, Roy, run,” according to local reports.
