COMMENTARY OF THE DAY

     The results are in for the North Carolina races, as Democrat Roy Cooper and Republican Michael Whatley have clinched their parties’ primary nominations and will face off in the general election in November.  Whatley should win.

     Whatley (R-N.C.) and Cooper (D-N.C.) will duel off in what many are calling one of the most competitive Senate races in the 2026 midterm, replacing retiring Senator Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), who announced that he would not be seeking re-election for a third term last year.  Cooper is the former governor of the Tar Heel State, serving as the state’s 75th governor from 2017 to 2025. He was succeeded by Josh Stein (D-N.C.).

     In the primary, he faced businessman and former U.S. House candidate Daryl Farrow, technology consultant Justin Dues, and several perennial candidates.  Whatley — the former chair of the Republican National Committee who carries the endorsement of President Donald Trump — competed against retired Navy JAG officer Don Brown and former Wake County school board candidate Michele Morrow.
