Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat from North Carolina, presented President Biden and former President Trump as the “stark choice” in the 2024 presidential contest on Sunday.
In an interview with MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” Cooper stated that voters should anticipate a rematch in the general election given Trump’s dominant showing in the South Carolina primary on Saturday.
“There will be a rematch between Biden and Trump. Furthermore, I doubt that many individuals have given it much thought. However, the decision will be made: are you in favor of a president who considers the needs of the American people first thing in the morning? Or would you rather have a president who thinks about himself first thing in the morning? And it will be a difficult decision to make,” Cooper stated.
Regarding the outcomes of the South Carolina primary, Cooper remarked, “But you see from last night that Donald Trump has an iron grip on this Republican Party.” “And in November, there will be a clear decision to make.”
According to Decision Desk HQ’s election results tracker, Trump won the Republican primary on Saturday by a margin of more than 20 points, with 59.8 percent of voters in favor of him and 39.5 percent voting for former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley.
Although South Carolina voters have always been among Trump’s most devoted supporters, Haley had hoped to gain some traction with the same voters who gave her a boost in the political game.
Cooper cited the election results in his call for Democrats to prepare for a rematch between Biden and Trump and to remind voters of the policy gains made by Biden during the first part of his administration.
In his first two years as president, Joe Biden accomplished more than most presidents could hope to do in two administrations. In the first two years, about 15 million jobs were created. battling the expense of prescription drugs. Now, inflation is starting to decline,” he stated.

Democrats have a responsibility to inform the public about these developments. We must ensure that they comprehend why their high-speed internet will be connected, why the water system in rural Sampson County, North Carolina, which had been neglected, will finally provide clean water to people without requiring them to boil it, and why people in this forgotten community will finally be able to cry. How come we have a Republican-controlled legislature and have extended Medicaid in North Carolina, so providing health care to over 600,000 more people?” Cooper continued.
“Those are the fascinating things that will have an impact on regular people. Furthermore, I don’t think the general public is discussing the topics we are, isn’t discussing the politics involved, and isn’t truly aware of it. Not many of them are.
