Their last minute power grab, once again, put North Carolina in the national spotlight for all of the wrong reasons. Roy Cooper’s election made it clear North Carolinians want new leadership. Our voters entrusted Cooper with that responsibility—this is a brazen attempt to circumvent their will. “Just last week, Governor McCrory promised a smooth transition to the next administration and instead has chosen to act vengefully. This is a strike against our democracy.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
