Vice President JD Vance Speaks at Greensboro Rally for Michael Whatley

Vance urged Republicans to back Michael Whatley and other GOP candidates while attacking Roy Cooper’s record and calling Democrats radicals.

  • On Monday, Vice President JD Vance rallied supporters in Greensboro, North Carolina, to boost U.S. Senate candidate Michael Whatley's campaign against Democratic former Gov. Roy Cooper.
  • The race is for the seat vacated by Sen. Thom Tillis, and President Donald Trump campaigned for Whatley in Gastonia last week, signaling Republican investment in the contest.
  • During his roughly 30-minute speech, Vance attacked Democrats as "radicals" and criticized Cooper for vetoing voter ID legislation, arguing his actions made elections less secure.
  • While the Koury Convention Center holds up to 3,000 people, attendance was estimated at around 300, and recent polling shows Cooper leading Whatley by 11 points.
  • With Election Day approaching, the Senate race remains a major focus for national midterm control as independent voters hold significant sway in the North Carolina battleground.
