An ongoing lawsuit reminds voters of Roy Cooper's leading role in shuttering businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A Superior Court judge rejected Tuesday a request from NC bar owners who were seeking to split two pieces of their lawsuit over government-mandated COVID closings in 2020 and 2021.
A Superior Court judge could decide Tuesday whether North Carolina bar owners suing over COVID-related government shutdowns can pursue depositions from former Gov. Roy Cooper and his top health official.
North Carolina bar owners who are suing over government-mandated shutdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic want to hear from former Gov. Roy Cooper and his top health official.
While one group of North Carolina bar owners continues to press its lawsuit against the governor over the economic impact of COVID-related shutdowns, a second group has ended a similar suit.
According to the May 2026 Carolina Journal Poll, a survey of 600 likely voters, 49.8% of voters would support Cooper, while 38.7% would support Whatley.
Gov. Josh Stein is asking a judge to drop the North Carolina Bar and Tavern Association from a lawsuit the group filed in 2020 to challenge COVID-related mandatory government shutdowns.
Whatley's fortunes will come down to a successful introduction to the voters, a real slip in Cooper's positive image, and good news on the national and international front in order to improve the economy and boost Trump's (and the overall GOP) favorability.
The $31.4 million is earmarked for a television reservation, locking in rates and ensuring available airtime.
Recent investigations indicate nearly half of the inmates released under a 2021 pandemic settlement were later arrested on new charges.
The poll found 50% of likely North Carolina voters said they would support Cooper, the Democratic candidate, while 42% said they would vote for Whatley. Another 6% said they were unsure or would not vote, while 2% selected another candidate or party.
