Read excerpt
Republicans are accusing Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Roy Cooper of mismanaging the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles while he was governor.

Cooper faces Republican Michael Whatley in a race that political analysts believe could help determine part
Fact-check: Political ads attacking Cooper link COVID-era NC inmate release to unrelated murders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a pair of recently released political ads attacking former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, two North Carolina fathers describe their children’s killings.
