Speaker 1

Let me tell you this, Buck.

Clay Travis

If Roy Cooper wins this open Senate seat, Roy Cooper might be the Biden of 28. Everybody's talking about Andy Beshear, and, oh, he's the governor of Kentucky, and he's Bill Clinton.

Buck Sexton

Roy Cooper is way more formidable, Clay, from a far more, I'm not trying to throw any shade at Kentucky, but more important electoral state. Roy Cooper could be the default, the Biden-esque candidate the next time around.

Speaker 1

Clay Travis

I'm not hearing anybody talk about that, but if Roy Cooper wins this battleground Senate seat and he can argue, hey, if I run for president, certainly he's a vice presidential candidate, but if he can argue, I'm going to run for president and North Carolinians will vote for me, then that is a hell…

Speaker 1

Speaker names come from our own diarization. The position is estimated from where the line sits in the episode.

“We have the most jobs and the lowest unemployment rate in our history.” — Jon Husted, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show “I'm not predicting that we're going to win by 25 or seven. There are other issues. It's a midterm election in which the Republicans are in charge, which makes it harder … But the numbers look good. And if Republicans get out to vote like they have done in the past, we will win.” — Jon Husted, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show
