- Whatley has strongly supported Trump’s tariffs. He didn’t respond to WRAL’s request for comment on Friday, but his campaign told WRAL News in November that Trump’s approach “will create jobs, raise wages, expand opportunity, and make our state affordable again.”
- Roy Cooper: “This erratic and chaotic trade war has raised costs on hardworking families and small businesses across North Carolina who are already grappling with high prices and expensive health care. Working families are getting crushed and this ruling is clear — these tariffs are unlawful and have got to end.”
