Trump rallies in Charlotte for NC congressional candidates
President Donald Trump campaigned in Charlotte for Republican 9th Congressional District candidate Mark Harris and Rep. Ted Budd.
Posted — Updated“Hello, North Carolina,” he said upon entering the arena. "Thank you very much. I'm really happy to be back in Charlotte."
Trump's visit came on the same day the FBI arrested suspected serial bomber Cesar Sayoc, who allegedly sent explosive devices to prominent Democrats and has ties to the Charlotte area.
“The media’s constant unfair coverage, deep hostility and negative attacks only serve to drive people apart and to undermine healthy debate,” he said.
The rally was to campaign for Republican candidates Mark Harris and Rep. Ted Budd. Trump said he needs their help in Washington to what he called getting the job done, from tax cuts to border security and affordable healthcare.
“Loyal citizens like you helped build this country, and together, we are taking back our country, returning power to you, the American people,” Trump said.
Following this rally, supporters seemed to be energized by what they heard.
Angela Leson said she and her sister love Trump.
“We support him 100 percent,” she said.
Jerel Miller, wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap, said he enjoyed the rally.
“It was a great rally,” he said. “I think the Republicans will have a great runaway come Nov. 6.”
Although many of Trump’s comments are “repeated over and over again,” Rick Horton said, “it’s not a lot of new stuff, but it’s good stuff.”
One of the last things Trump told the audience was to grab a friend and go vote. He called this year’s election the most important one of our time.
