Initially viewed as among the nation’s most competitive, the race appears to be slipping from the GOP’s grasp. Cooper led Whatley by 7 points in an East Carolina University poll released earlier this month. (cont.)

Remember that Whatley, Trump's "Recovery Czar" for WNC made 5 phone calls totally 38 minutes in that 2 years. This is who they chose to run for Senate.

Josh has been working his ass off, OTOH. Almost weekly I see new repairs and restoration in WNC from his efforts.

As we mark two years since Hurricane Helene devastated western North Carolina, the headlines may have faded, but the work remains.

...said last week that 2 years after Helene, he doesn't know what Western N.C. needs (!), but he's "sure the answer isn't zero."

Seriously, Budd? WTAF?

Republicans have ZERO sense of urgency or care for the constituents of Western NC and will continue to leave them hanging.

Why wouldn't a gop senate candidate answer a basic question like this? Why would anyone vote for someone who refuses to say how he will help our state?! Stop voting for R's. 🤯🤦🏻‍♀️ #VoteRoyCooper
Q: On the economy - what do you plan to do to make North Carolina more affordable?

MICHAEL WHATLEY: *walks away*

NARRATOR: He wouldn't take Qs on that even though we sent Whatley Qs more than 24 hours ago looking for specific plans. We have not been given a response beyond 2 paragraphs on his site

Its an estimate at best... but we know the real cost.

VoteRoyCooper NC for US SENATE.
Chaotic tariffs cost you $1,000 last year, and that’s set to climb to $1,300 this year. Americans already don’t have change to spare.

While my opponent prioritizes his own personal interests, I’m the Senate candidate who will bring down costs.

Michael Whatley is the worst kind of politician & not worthy of representing anyone except himself

He will cheat and lie and sidle-up to convicted sex offenders if it benefits Michael Whatley. And those are his best attributes.

AND Harvey Lee West Jr voted illegally in NC from 2008-16
He was prohibited from voting bc of felony convictions. He registered and voted anyway.
Whatley kept taking his money & promoting West to new positions in the NCGOP & RNC

Republicans can’t quit their sex pests

Thanks for posting. Just what we need in NC. A politician who is afraid for his words/policies to be made public. Par for the R's in this state. #voteroycooper!!!!!

Woot! 🎉🥳🎊🎈🎉🍾

This is terrific. If you don’t know the story, Roy was our Gov for 8 years here in #NorthCarolina and even Republicans approved of him.

He’s eminently electable without giving in to extremist ideas from the right. Moderate and pro-choice.

Whatley just proved his cowardice, his complicity, his incompetence, & DISRESPECT for the job he is asking NC voters to give to him. #BiteMeWhatley

Q: How do you feel about sacrificing our soldiers in another forever war?

Not just as a North Carolinian but as a person, a vote for @roycoopernc.bsky.social is a vote for REAL but GOOD change.
Not just change for the sake of making a name.

The #GOP has only one half truth to put in their hate ads for a reason.
