HENDERSONVILLE, North Carolina — Vice President JD Vance rallied to help three North Carolina Republicans prevail over their Democratic competitors during the November midterm elections, as the Republican Party attempts to beat back a difficult political climate.

Speaking at the Hyder Warehouse, Vance touted state Rep. Jennifer Balkcom, the 11th Congressional District nominee; Republican Laurie Buckhout, the 1st Congressional District nominee; and Senate nominee Michael Whatley as “fighters” and “warriors” for North Carolinians. But they are all facing formidable challenges from Democrats.
