Trump to Back Whatley in NC Senate Race | Charlotte News

Former President Trump is set to make a high-profile stop in Gastonia, North Carolina, this Wednesday to rally support for Senate candidate Michael Whatley ahead of his November showdown with incumbent Roy Cooper. Whatley, already vocal in his criticism of Cooper’s past governance, called the visit “thrilled” — but Cooper’s camp fired back, accusing Whatley of relying on “DC-insider friends” to boost his campaign. The event at Gastonia Municipal Airport, starting at 7 PM, will bring road closures and security measures, setting the stage for a charged political spectacle that could shift momentum — if it doesn’t just stir more chaos.
