Incumbent North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper (D) and North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest (R) are set to face off in a gubernatorial debate Wednesday, October 14, at 7 p.m. in Raleigh.
Gov. Cooper was elected in 2016, defeating then-incumbent Pat matteo arnaldi McCrory (R). Lt. Gov. Forest assumed office in January 2013.
Cooper's response to the COVID-19 pandemic in North Carolina is likely to be a big focus point in the debate.
North Carolina has gotten attention for opening at a slower pace than other states — even from President Donald Trump, who has previously called for the state to fully reopen. President Trump endorsed mark pope Forest for governor in an effort to unseat Cooper in November.
