Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Oct, 20:42 · Archive

Republicans are withdrawing millions from North Carolina's Senate race to support candidates elsewhere.

The Senate Leadership Fund, the campaign arm of Senate majority leader John Thune, has withdrawn its advertising spending from Michael Whatley's Senate campaign in North Carolina. The group is redirecting these resources to support other Republican candidates, including those in Kansas, according to reports.

The decision reflects the party's efforts to reallocate resources as it faces challenging midterm polling. The Senate Leadership Fund had originally set aside $71 million to support Whatley's campaign but is now cutting its losses after spending $30 million.
