The NPR Politics Podcast · What to watch in the race for North Carolina's open Senate seat · 23 Feb 2026 podcast

Tell us who is on the ballot to try to replace him.

I will say it's a little surprising to me, an open seat in a competitive state, that the Democratic and Republican primaries for this seat seem, if not wrapped up, but a little bit uncompetitive.

Can you explain, do you have any thoughts on why that is, Colin?

Can you tell us a little bit more about Roy Cooper on the Democratic side?

I mean, this is somebody who is a fairly popular two-term governor.

But for people who aren't in North Carolina, I'm not sure we're super familiar with what he's known for.

Tell us a little bit more about him.

Ashley, lay out how North Carolina fits into the map for the broader Senate.

I guess when you think about Democrats' potential chances for retaking the Senate, how does North Carolina play into that?

Got it.

OK, so Democrats need to net four Senate seats to potentially take over the Senate.

I'm just trying to play out the math here.

And North Carolina potentially could be one of those four in addition to the two they need to defend.

I want to talk a little bit more about President Trump's endorsement of Michael Watley.

Colin, how do you think Trump is going to play into this race come the general?

Is there anything to be gleaned?

I mean, voting started more than a week ago there.

Is there anything to be gleaned from the early voting numbers at this point?

Well, and I keep thinking, Ashley, about the reporting you brought to the pod a couple weeks ago from that focus group that you watched, where majority of the focus group participants said that they had had their daily life impacted in some way by ICE activity.

And I feel like North Carolina is a place where it's not a border state, so you wouldn't necessarily assume that.
