I’m Josh Stein, Democratic Governor of North Carolina. I’ve worked with Roy Cooper for twenty-five years, and I know that he’s the right person to advocate for North Carolina in the U.S. Senate. He has my endorsement and my vote, but to win this toss-up race against his far-right MAGA opponent, he needs our support now. Please consider making a donation to Roy’s campaign before his October fundraising deadline tomorrow >>>
John, once again, Donald Trump is trying to handpick a MAGA politician to win power here in North Carolina — not to serve our state, but to serve the interests of the national GOP.
He tried it in my race for Governor last year, backing a radical candidate who described himself as a “Black Nazi” and wanted to ban abortion in NC without exceptions.
North Carolinians defeated my MAGA opponent. Now, we have to defeat Michael Whatley: the ex-Big Oil lobbyist and MAGA loyalist running for the U.S. Senate against Roy Cooper.
Donald Trump handpicked Whatley. Now, dark-money groups and insider Republican politicians are rallying around him because the national GOP knows this seat is key to holding their majority. But we can defeat them, John. I’m personally asking you to make a donation to Roy’s campaign before midnight tomorrow to help. Just click here to give.
Just like North Carolinians rejected Mark Robinson and his radical agenda, we need to reject Whatley’s right-wing extremism. He praised the NC GOP’s cruel abortion ban, opposed expanding Medicaid in NC, and called the Republican bill slashing health care for millions a “huge win.”
Whatley is ready to greenlight the national GOP’s agenda — one that is wrong for this state and wrong for our country.
John, Roy Cooper is a champion for health care, education, clean energy, and our fundamental rights. He has proven that he won’t back down from these important fights, and he’s ready to get to work for us in the Senate. But the polls are tightening — Whatley is gaining ground. We cannot let up.
Please, make a donation of any size to help Roy Cooper win the most consequential Senate seat on the map in 2026.
We can do this. Let’s go,
Josh Stein
Governor of North Carolina
