Whatley’s Prayer Partner Has a Dark Past | Greenville News

Michael Whatley’s Senate campaign in North Carolina is facing a major blow after a prayer from Pastor Daimon L. King—a registered sex offender with two prior prison sentences—was featured at one of his recent events. With just two months until the pivotal Senate race, the revelation threatens to undermine Whatley’s tough-on-crime message and could alienate far-right conservatives. His campaign insists he had no involvement, blaming the Craven County GOP, but Democrats are seizing on the moment, adding fuel to their attacks that already include scrutiny over Whatley’s past ties to another convicted sex offender, Harvey West Jr. As political analysts warn of growing fallout, Whatley’s bid for Senate may be unraveling under the weight of these explosive connections.
