North Carolina GOP Senate nominee Michael Whatley reacts to farmer's criticism of tariffs, gas costs
President Trump is traveling to North Carolina to stump for Republican Senate nominee Michael Whatley. CBS News chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes spoke with Whatley ahead of the president's appearance.
Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed met with Senate Democrats on Wednesday to rally support for his campaign. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, chair of the DSCC, expressed enthusiasm about El-Sayed's candidacy, stating that he is a great candidate and will win the election. El-Sayed, a progressive, won the Michigan Democratic primary last month against a more moderate candidate recruited by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Despite this ideological divide, Democrats sought to bridge differences and unite behind El-Sayed, who will face former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers in November. El-Sayed highlighted issues like healthcare access, reproductive rights, and labor as unifying factors. Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, plans to campaign with El-Sayed in Michigan.
