Republican PAC pulls funding from Whatley's North Carolina Senate campaign
Original: WELP a major republican PAC just gave up on Whatley's campaign; and is prioritizing money to other states; thinking turn
A major Republican PAC is shifting money away from Michael Whatley's Senate campaign in North Carolina, reportedly concluding that efforts to turn the state red are a waste of resources and prioritizing other states instead. Commentators describe the move as welcome news for Democrat Roy Cooper, the former governor who is seen as a strong contender in the race.
Why now: Reports that national Republicans are deprioritizing a key Senate race signal trouble for Whatley and boost Cooper's chances, making it a major development in the 2026 midterms.
