Lara Trump declines US Senate NC race; uber-RINO Whatley poised to run | Eastern NC Now
Don Brown is the conservative canddidate
North Carolina is threatened with Tillis 2.0 in the Senate seat Tillis is vacating.
Lara Trump has announced that she will not be running. Staunch conservative and former JAG officer Don Brown is still in the race. It looks, however, like he will have a big time RINO primary opponent who is joined at the hip with Tillis. Michael Whatley, a longtime DC lobbyist, was recruited by Tillis to be NC's state GOP chairman. He is now RNC chairman, and may get Trump's endorsement.
Trump is noted for bad endorsements as well as good ones. When Trump endorsed liberal Thom TIllis during a campaign rally in North Carolina in 2020, the crowd of Trump supporters loudly booed the endorsement. Now many believe he will also endorse Tillis 2.0, Michael Whatley.

Trump is noted for bad RINO endorsements in the Carolinas, and he is doing it again with RINO Whatley, who is Tillis 2.0. Trump's most famous blunder in that regard was endorsing Tillis himself in 2020 when a substantial conservative was gearing up to challenge Tillis. That Tillis endorsement was loudly booed to Trump's face by his own supporters. Trump has also endorsed some RINOs in congressional primaries in NC.
Trump has also publicly endorsed RINO establishment hacks for NC Republican Party chairman against solid conservative opponents. This year in South Carolina, Trump has endorsed amnesty pusher "Light in the Loafers" Sen. Lindsay Graham, who is nicknamed Lindsay Grahamnesty. Graham is a RINO's RINO. He is being primaried by a first string conservative challenger, former two term Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer, but Trump goes with the RINO. |

One of the many liberal things Tillis and Whatley have in common is support for the green energy boondoggle. Whatley's history on that major issue is directly opposite Trump's position. Trump has called out climate alarmism as a hoax and is gutting the Biden wind and solar projects. Whatley is a former lobbyist for the corrupt solar energy grifters, pushing taxpayer money down that rat hole. Remember, one of the reasons Tillis gave for not supporting the Big Beautiful Bill was that it cut corrupt subsidies to wind and solar grifters.
NO, Whatley is NOT acceptable, any more than his mentor Tillis was. A conservative congressman looking at this race just met with Trump, so maybe Trump will do the right thing on this one after all, or at least stay out of the primary. |

I would not trust a special interest hack like Whatley AT ALL on illegal immigration. Don Brown is the only one in the race I trust on immigration issues.

Lord help us Please. We don't need another RINO. I for one if Whatley wins the primary will withhold my vote. Praying that Don Brown gets the nomination.

Whatley is an establishment Republican of the worst order. If you liked Tillis, you will love Whatley. The NCGOP can do a heck of a lot better than Michael Whatley. Someone who earned his living turning tricks for the special interests in Washington, DC is not what we need as a US Senate nominee.

These Whatley RINO assumptions or dreams of a purple NC are fast turning NC blue. Senate and Council of State are ugly blue sores on our state. Where is competent leadership? We are setting the table for a Cooper Senate term. NC GOP sucks.
