Ad Attacking N.C. Republican Senate Candidate Uses His Own (Dated) Words Against Him - FactCheck.org (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In his campaign’s latest TV ad, Democratic Senate candidate Roy Cooper of North Carolina highlights the issue of affordability using direct quotes from his Republican opponent — “No AI, no special effects, just Michael Whatley in his own words.” They are, in fact, direct quotes from Whatley — but they are a bit dated, and some of the comments were more defensible or true at the time when Whatley made them. The ad starts with a quote from Whatley: “Grocery prices are down, gasoline prices are dow
Ad Attacking Cooper Makes False Connection to Murder - FactCheck.org (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An ad from a super PAC supporting Republican Senate candidate Michael Whatley features a heart-wrenching testimonial from the father of a woman who was murdered in 2025. The ad falsely implies the accused murderer was one of the prisoners released during the COVID-19 pandemic when Whatley’s Democratic opponent, Roy Cooper, was governor of North Carolina.

Dan Sullivan of casting “the deciding vote” to keep the Epstein files “hidden.” While Sullivan voted against considering an amendment to an otherwise unrelated bill that would have released the files earlier, he, like the rest of the Senate, supported a bill to make the records public. The Peltola ad also seeks to tie Sullivan to the late convicted sex offender through donations from
Trump Overstates Magnitude of Noncitizen Voting in New Jersey - FactCheck.org (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New Jersey’s governor announced that “a software error” in the state’s motor vehicle registration system resulted in 6,600 noncitizens being improperly added to the state’s voter registration list. The state’s preliminary investigation found that up to 400 votes were cast by noncitizens, far fewer than the “thousands of votes” claimed by President Donald Trump. Trump has seized on the incident as validation of his longtime but unsupported claims about massive numbers of noncitizens voting. “Well
