Story summary

On Monday in Greensboro, North Carolina, Vice President JD Vance attended a campaign rally for Republican Senate nominee Michael Whatley and delivered remarks at 12:45 p.m. Vance's visit followed President Trump's recent stop in the state and was aimed at boosting Whatley’s chances against Democratic incumbent Governor Roy Cooper, who is leading in polls with a 15-point advantage over Whatley among likely voters. Despite this support, some Republican groups like Old North Action have started to reconsider backing Whatley due to his weak standing; they canceled $6.5 million in ad reservations while still maintaining more than $14.5 million worth of ads statewide. During the rally, Vance mistakenly called political opponents the “fart left,” but quickly corrected himself and laughed it off as an accident.
