00:00Were you disappointed that Laura Trump decided not to run in North Carolina?

00:06She'd been a great asset here, but all of us that have a family understand it's very difficult.

00:12There's a reason why there's only a few of us.

00:13I think there's five or six of us, maybe seven of us now, that actually have kids.

00:20And it's difficult to actually be a dad or a mom and run the schedule we had to run up here in the Senate.

00:27So I think the family consideration, I haven't talked to her about it, but I bet you the family consideration played a big role in that.

00:33Are Republicans concerned about Roy Cooper?

00:37I don't know. I haven't looked into him at all.

00:40I mean, I would say concern.

00:42We'll do opposition research on everybody.

00:45But, you know, North Carolina, we always knew it was going to be a battle filled.

00:50We expect that still to be true.

00:52We're not going to.
