North Carolina Senate Showdown: Cooper vs. Whatley
Former Gov. Roy Cooper and ex-RNC chair Michael Whatley won their domains’ primaries to face off in North Carolina’s open U.S. Senate race, a contest that could decide control of the chamber. The state also features competitive House races, including a tight 4th District battle between Valerie Foushee and Nida Allam that underscored intraparty divisions over Israel policy and campaign strategy, plus a GOP-leaning shift in the 1st District after redistricting.
