Drug companies profited from the Big Beautiful Bill. So did Michael Whatley | Opinion More questions surface about Michael Whatley’s stocks in North Carolina’s U.S. Senate race.

My opponent helped lead the charge to double health care premiums for North Carolinians, while he personally profited.

Washington needs leaders who put people’s interests ahead of their own.

The chaos in Washington is driving prices through the roof, and North Carolinians are fed up. It’s time to make stuff cost less.

White House assures voters gas prices will go down in summer despite ‘short-term volatility’ The timeline for gas hitting $3 was pushed back from previous predictions.

While working families continue to be hit hard by skyrocketing prices, this Whatley-backed administration has no plan to lift the burden of a costly war.

North Carolina families deserve better.

Children need safe, healthy places to learn and grow. Parents should be able to work and support their families. And businesses need a strong, capable workforce.

Great to be in Wilmington today to talk about making child care cost less and setting families up for success.

N.C. farmers confront drought, increasing prices for diesel, fertilizer Dry fields have corn growers about two weeks behind in their spring planting season.

Growing up working on the farm, I learned that every season brings new challenges, many of them out of our control.

But right now our farmers are being hit with skyrocketing costs — and we all know why.

As Governor, I worked across the aisle to deliver real progress for this state: expanding access to health care, investing in education and bringing in good-paying jobs.

I’ll be a Senator for all North Carolinians — above politics and above party.

While the cost of groceries, gas and utilities keep going up, Big Oil lobbyist Michael Whatley’s pockets are just getting bigger.

I always have and always will put North Carolinians first. Michael Whatley can’t say the same.

I want to be a Senator for all North Carolinians. Yesterday in Laurinburg, I spoke with residents about the problems they are facing and how I plan to fight for them in the US Senate.

Expanding Medicaid for hardworking North Carolinians was a huge step forward for our state when I signed it into law in 2023. Now, that progress is at risk because of DC’s health care cuts.

As your Senator, I’m ready to continue my fight for affordable, accessible health care.

Inflation Soared to 3.3% in March, Driven by Higher Gasoline Costs The reading, the first major inflation report since the Iran war began, came in at its hottest level in two years.

North Carolinians are stuck spending more and more on the necessities because of DC’s decisions.

And it doesn’t look like Washington is going to help any time soon.

Trump Administration Forecasts Long-Term High Gas Prices From Strait of Hormuz Closure The Energy Information Administration is struggling with unknowns about the Strait of Hormuz in its models and predicted that average gas prices will get as high as $4.30 per gallon.

Gas prices are skyrocketing, and it sounds like they’re not coming down for a while. Yet Michael Whatley says he feels “pretty good about the economy.”

Hardworking North Carolinians are skipping health care because it costs too much. That’s maddening and needs to change.

As Governor, I worked across the aisle to help deliver affordable health care solutions for working North Carolinians, and I plan to do the same in the Senate.

It’s not fair for utility profits to go up while you pay more. As Attorney General, I challenged utility rate hikes in court for years, and I’ll take that same determination to fight for you to the Senate.

We need to make stuff cost less, not make North Carolinians pay more.

Gas prices eclipse $4 per gallon in the U.S. The price is a national average, meaning drivers in some states have been paying well over $4 a gallon for a while now

Gas prices in NC are nearing the national average at $4 a gallon, and we all know why. It's absurd.
