We Summoned Roy Cooper | NC Governor on the Senate Race, Medicaid & What's Really Dividing NC

Harnessing the mystical power of Diet Sun Drop, we summoned Former NC Governor Roy Cooper to the Holler. Roy opens up about growing up in Nashville, NC (the original Nashville), working summers on the family farm, losing money on pigs and watermelons, and his short-lived career breaking horses. From blocking Phil Ford's shot in a high school gym to leading NC through hurricanes and COVID, Roy traces the journey that's now leading him to run for the U.S. Senate. We get into Medicaid expansion and how he got Republican sheriffs and county commissioners to bring it across the finish line, the affordability crisis squeezing North Carolina families, what it will be like to go from governor to one of 100 senators, and why he believes Americans aren't as divided as the politicians in power want us to think.
