Democrat Roy Cooper swept the Republican North Carolina US Senate seat, defeating Trump-backed Michael Whatley in a big margin for Democrats. The seat was previously held by retiring Republican Sen. Tom Tillis. Cooper's victory marks a net one-seat gain for Democrats, bringing them closer to the four-seat gain needed to secure a Senate majority. The result is particularly significant in North Carolina, where Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election.
