Description

North Carolinas 2026 election season is heating up, with thousands of candidates vying for various offices. The US House and Senate, state legislature, state courts, and local positions are all up for grabs. Primary elections in March will determine who advances to the general election, with many contests featuring primary challenges. The US Senate race between former Governor Roy Cooper and former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley is particularly closely watched. Both candidates have primary challengers but are expected to secure their partys nominations. The election is predicted to break spending records, with Coopers campaign already raising $14.5 million and Whatleys $5.8 million. The campaign season promises to be active and competitive, with both candidates trading barbs and focusing on each others past actions and records.
