BREAKING: Michael Whatley announces new opponent

Medicaid Expansion has been a game-changer for our state. But now, with the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill and attacks by right-wing Republicans on health care, all of that is at risk.

I joined Lawrence O'Donnell last night to discuss a simple fact: it's hard to rebuild in the mountains after a hurricane, but it shouldn't be hard for the federal government to cut the checks. Michael Whatley has failed Western North Carolina.

Our beautiful mountains hold a special place in my heart. And I’ve seen firsthand the strength and courage of the people who live there. As we reflect on the last year, I'm inspired by their determination, and I'm motivated to keep supporting them as we rebuild.

And more than 90% of our contributions are $100 or less. To everyone who's pitched in so far: thank you. We'll do this together.

NEW: Read from Roy Cooper why he's running and fighting for hardworking NC families. "Washington is broken, and we can’t keep sending D.C. insiders to fix the problem they created. It’s time for that to change." newsobserver.com/opinion/articl…

North Carolina farmers deserve better.

Our veterans stood up for us. We all need to stand up for them.

SCOOP: NC GOP Senate candidate Michael Whatley has praised the ouster of Nicolás Maduro. What he didn’t mention is that he and his family have up to a million plus dollars invested in 3 major oil companies that saw spikes in their shares after the capture. politico.com/newsletters/po…

And don't forget: If you've been wondering why Andrew Dunn spreads lies about Roy Cooper, here's your answer. Anything he says is through the lens of an obsolete and aggrieved campaign flack who lost by over 4.5 points. It's sad watching someone carry an eternal axe to grind.

This is a classic DC insider move: Michael Whatley is backing policies that grow his bank account instead of helping North Carolina families. Washington is broken, and politicians like Whatley who just want to get rich are part of the problem.

Four years ago as governor I proclaimed the obvious: the state of North Carolina is the center of the college basketball universe. And you were right, Rece: I do have a favorite. Go Heels!
