Tune in here to this ​Thursday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the developing political buzz surrounding Michael Whatley and the extreme heat wave gripping the region. Brett breaks down the Politico report suggesting Whatley will announce his U.S. Senate run as early as next week—news Brett hinted at on last night’s show. He recaps Whatley's rise through the GOP ranks, his current role leading the RNC, and the growing belief that Whatley may be Trump's pick for the North Carolina Senate seat.

Later, Jensen sits down with former Gaston County GOP Chairman Robert King to discuss the potential U.S. Senate candidacy of Michael Whatley and his long-standing influence in North Carolina politics. King, who worked closely with Whatley during their respective tenures leading local and state Republican efforts, describes Whatley as a mentor, a tireless strategist, and a grounded, humble community member.
