North Carolina Democratic Governor Roy Cooper was given a prime speaking slot Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
Cooper spoke for only four minutes. But as the final speaker before Harris’s acceptance speech, he had a massive TV audience.
He used the chance talk about when he and Harris were both attorneys generals thirteen years ago. Cooper said the big banks had offered California $4 billion to compensate homeowners for illegal foreclosures during the financial crisis.
"But Kamala said hang on a minute. I’ve met these families. I know what they’ve been through and they deserve more. She went toe-to-toe with some of the world’s most powerful executives and she refused to give in," he said.
California eventually got $20 billion.
Cooper ended his speech by listing all seven swing states, asking voters to stand up. The first state he mentioned: North Carolina.
