Roy Cooper found his conscience two hours after Chuck Schumer did

Former Gov. Roy Cooper's decision to urge Graham Platner to exit the Maine Senate race seems to have been influenced more by political maneuvering than a sudden act of conscience. Cooper's call came shortly after Democratic leadership in Washington made their move, indicating a strategic alignment rather than an independent moral awakening. This situation underscores the often calculated nature of political decisions, where timing and external pressures play a significant role. It also highlights the complex interplay between state and national Democratic strategies.
