Cooper focused his messaging on inflation and border security.
"I believe around the world most people are good and I believe that we should do everything that we can to try to make America the place that people envy, the place that people want to come to. But it has to be done by legal means with law and order and with our citizens in mind," said Cooper.
Cooper said he would not go along with Republican members of Congress if they pushed a federal abortion ban, as long as the majority of his district opposed such laws.
