Arif Yacoubi, the correspondent of Iran International, spoke with the supporters of Roy Cooper, the winning candidate of the Democratic Party in the elections for the US Senate, in Raleigh, the capital of the state of North Carolina. One supporter, who has worked with Cooper for years, described him as "honest and a hard worker" and expressed hope that Democrats could win a majority in Congress. He also said the cost of living and access to affordable health care are top concerns for North Carolina voters.
