STILL of U.S. President Donald Trump and North Carolina Republican Senate candidate Michael Whatley at event (ID: 26044686325415)   ASSOCIATED PRESS Washington – 3 March 2026 3. SOUNDBITE (English) Sagar Meghani, The Associated Press: “One of November's most anticipated races is now actually going to happen. Here at the AP's election headquarters in Washington, two big race calls to kick off the night. They are both in the North Carolina Senate race. As predicted, two-term Governor Roy Cooper is going to be the Democratic nominee. He will face off against former Republican National Committee chair Michael Whatley, who is backed by President Trump. Now this is a state Democrats are really eyeing. They need to flip four states come November to retake control of the Senate. They have North Carolina on their list as one of the four where that can happen. Keeping in mind that a Democrat has not won a North Carolina Senate election since 2008, there was a lot of focus on this race and will be until November. When it is all said and done, political analysts say it may be the single most expensive Senate race in history, approaching a billion dollars.”   ASSOCIATED PRESS Raleigh, North Carolina – 12 February 2026 4. STILL of Democratic former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper at campaign event (ID: 26043608539812) STORYLINE: Former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and ex-Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley each won their party’s U.S. Senate nominations in North Carolina, setting the bout for a fall campaign that could determine control of the chamber.   Both clinched their elections in crowded fields to replace retiring Sen. Thom Tillis. He isn’t seeking a third term.   Cooper’s entry lifted Democratic hopes for regaining Senate control of the chamber. Whatley ran after receiving the endorsement of President Donald Trump. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
