  North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper is leaving his job after eight years in which the southern Democrat picked his moments against a Republican-dominated legislature, winning big on Medicaid expansion and clean energy while falling short in fights over private-school vouchers and abortion rights.

The article from MSN discusses North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper's reflections on his tenure as he approaches the end of his term. Having navigated through significant challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, and political opposition from Republicans, Cooper highlights his administration's achievements. These include expanding Medicaid, raising teacher pay, and increasing the state's reserve fund. Despite these accomplishments, he expresses frustration over the lack of progress in expanding early childhood education and addressing climate change due to political resistance. Cooper also mentions his efforts in vetoing numerous bills, many of which were overridden by the Republican-led legislature. As he prepares to leave office, he focuses on the positive impacts of his policies, particularly in education and healthcare, while acknowledging the ongoing political battles that have marked his governorship.
