Election 2026: Story on halting cash to Whatley campaign ‘Hogwash!’

Reports said about $8 million was spent on Whatley in July and August, while super PACs added several times more, sources said.

  • Reports claiming the National Republican Senatorial Committee excluded North Carolina from future spending plans are "entirely made up," according to officials, as Chairman Tim Scott labeled the Politico story "hogwash."
  • The committee invested about $8 million to support Republican Michael Whatley in July and August, though super political action committees have funneled significantly more money into Whatley's campaign.
  • Democrat Roy Cooper leads Whatley 49.2%-34.1% in Carolina Journal polling, bringing 38 years of experience to his bid to succeed Republican Sen. Thom Tillis.
  • Communications Director Joanna Rodriguez called the Politico story "completely fabricated," and Nathan Brand, a senior advisor to Scott, said the chairman praised Whatley as a candidate with "polling momentum."
  • With Republicans holding 53 seats, the North Carolina race remains a major battleground, as Democrats have not taken a midterm Senate seat in the state since John Edwards in 1998.
