Roy Cooper's campaign is pushing back on the analysis, calling it "misleading and not accurate."
The former North Carolina governor announced on X Monday morning that he is running for Senate.
"I'm not sitting down, am I?"
The former congressman will drop out of the US Senate race and endorse fellow Democrat Roy Cooper, sources told ABC11.
"Governor Cooper would be making his intentions known in the coming days," a spokesperson for Cooper said in a statement.
Gov. Roy Cooper announced that he has commuted the sentences of 15 people on death row. He also granted two other commutations and two pardons.
