(The Center Square) – Super political action committees may have redirected funds from the U.S. Senate campaign of Republican Michael Whatley, but his top supporter is not wavering.

Second-term Republican President Donald Trump, whom Whatley as chairman of the Republican National Committee helped to election in 2024, weighed in Sunday evening on social media. The 80-year-old Floridian compared Democrat Roy Cooper, leader in the polls and former two-term governor of the state, to former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis and his controversial decision in a 1988 bid for the White House.
