Former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley is drawing a clear line in the sand against Washington's culture of corruption, calling for a complete ban on congressional stock trading as he launches his bid for North Carolina's Senate seat.
In an exclusive statement to the Washington Examiner, Whatley—a proven MAGA warrior who helped steer the RNC during Trump's triumphant 2024 campaign—declared that members of Congress should be banned from trading individual stocks while serving in office.
"The American people deserve representatives who are focused on serving their constituents, not padding their portfolios," Whatley said, taking direct aim at the insider trading scandal that has plagued both parties for decades.
Draining the Swamp, One Stock Trade at a Time
This isn't just campaign rhetoric—it's exactly the kind of anti-establishment stance that Patriots across North Carolina have been demanding. While career politicians like Nancy Pelosi have made millions gaming the system with suspicious trades, Whatley is promising to clean house.
"Members of Congress have access to information that can move markets. Using that information for personal gain isn't just wrong—it's a betrayal of public trust," Whatley emphasized.
The North Carolina race is already being watched as a bellwether for Trump's continued dominance and the MAGA movement's ability to root out corruption at every level of government. Whatley's bold stance puts him squarely in Trump's corner on draining the swamp—something voters haven't forgotten.
Democrats are scrambling to respond as Whatley's message resonates with working families who are tired of watching politicians get rich while they struggle with inflation and economic uncertainty.
MAGA Momentum Building
With Trump's second-term agenda firing on all cylinders, candidates like Whatley represent the new generation of America First leaders ready to take the fight directly to Washington's corrupt establishment.
The question isn't whether congressional stock trading should be banned—it's whether politicians will finally have the courage to police themselves. Whatley just threw down the gauntlet. Will his opponents follow suit, or will they reveal themselves as just another part of the swamp?
