President Donald Trump is holding a rally in North Carolina to campaign for Republican Senate nominee Michael Whatley about two weeks before Election Day. CBS News reports Trump’s appearance comes as Whatley trails Democrat Roy Cooper in polling, with CBS chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes covering the event.
Other outlets also frame the rally as part of Trump’s broader effort to boost Republican candidates in the state. The Washington Examiner describes the event as a Tuesday night stop in Greenville for Whatley and “other GOP candidates,” noting Trump’s prior visits to North Carolina earlier in his campaign. Newsweek likewise reports Trump is rallying in Greenville for Whatley, adding political context by referencing Thom Tillis’s warning about GOP prospects.
