Trump, in North Carolina, says Republicans will defy midterm odds
Trump urged voters to back Michael Whatley and other Republicans, while polls show Roy Cooper leading the Senate race by double digits.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump held a rally at Pitt-Greenville Airport in Greenville to mobilize voters for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Michael Whatley, following Vice President JD Vance's recent Hendersonville event.
- Whatley faces Democratic Governor Roy Cooper in a closely watched contest where financial disparities favor the Democrat; Cooper held about $12.5 million on-hand in late September while Whatley, who recently suspended television ads, reported $916,000.
- GOP Senator Thom Tillis warned Republicans face a voter rebuke if the party fails to adjust course, arguing the GOP must appeal to unaffiliated voters beyond its core conservative base.
- A WRAL/WSOC Poll released last week found 37% of likely voters approve of the president's job performance while 60% disapprove, amid early voting by registered Democrats up about 53% from 2022 midterms.
- Republicans are fighting to maintain their Senate majority as both parties compete to control Congress; Tillis predicted the party could finish with 50 or 51 Senate seats.
