Leader John Thune and National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Tim Scott released the following statements endorsing Michael Whatley in the U.S. Senate race in North Carolina:
“Michael Whatley has done an exceptional job leading the Republican National Committee through historic campaign successes, and I’m excited to endorse him in his bid to become North Carolina’s next U.S. Senator,” said Leader Thune. “Michael is a strong conservative voice committed to fighting for North Carolina and will be a crucial part of our growing Senate Republican majority.”
“Like President Donald J. Trump, Michael Whatley knows how to win North Carolina. He’s a strong America First conservative and a champion for the Tar Heel State, so I’m confident we will keep the seat in Republican hands,” said Chairman Scott. “With Michael in the race and running to win, I know we will protect President Trump’s Senate Majority in 2026.”
Background:
