VOA is currently broadcasting the latest election results in the US midterm elections. In North Carolina, VOA joins others in predicting that Democrat Roy Cooper has defeated Republican Michael Whatley in the Senate race.
North Carolina is home to a large US military presence, making the election critical to congressional decisions on defense spending, NATO, military readiness and US overseas security commitments.
It was a seat the Democrats won from the Republicans and an important step toward their goal of a net gain of four seats. VOAMidterms2026.
