GREENVILLE, North Carolina — President Donald Trump unveiled new economic incentives to help bolster Republican Senate nominee Michael Whatley‘s campaign against Democrat Roy Cooper on Tuesday evening, even as Republican PACs have quietly pulled funding from the race.

At the Pitt-Greenville Airport, Trump, along with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, announced two semiconductor production efforts in the Tar Heel State. The effort is meant to bring new jobs and millions of dollars to the state as the GOP seeks to keep control of both chambers in the midterm elections next month.
