Michael Whatley and Roy Cooper have secured the Republican and Democratic nominations, respectively, to succeed retiring Sen. Thom Tillis in North Carolina. Whatley, a former RNC chairman, campaigned on immigration issues, criticizing Cooper’s vetoes of legislation aimed at enhancing cooperation with ICE.

The upcoming general election is critical for both parties, with Whatley seeking to retain Republican control and Cooper aiming to flip the seat.
