Vice President JD Vance visited western North Carolina on Monday to rally support for two Republican candidates ahead of the November midterm elections.

An estimated 200 to 300 people packed Hyder Warehouse in Hendersonville to hear from Vance, joined by Republican candidates Jennifer Balkcom, who is running to represent North Carolina's 11th Congressional District, and Michael Whatley, who is running for the open U.S. Senate seat in North Carolina.

During the event, Vance urged voters to support both candidates, saying they would prioritize the needs of North Carolinians.

"The reason why we're fighting for them is because they are the rare breed that fights for people of North Carolina first and is going to shake up that establishment and fight for you for a change," Vance said.

Both candidates also took the stage to discuss their priorities if elected.
