On his final day of campaigning, former President Donald Trump held a sentimental rally in North Carolina, reflecting on his journey with supporters as he aimed to energize voters in the battleground state before Election Day.
Trump’s Last Rally Pushes for Voter Turnout in North Carolina
In a nearly hour-and-a-half speech at Raleigh’s Dorton Arena, Donald Trump rallied supporters on his last campaign day, encouraging them to vote while sharing nostalgic memories of his past campaigns. Trump acknowledged his close connection with the state, saying, “You have been a very special group to me,” as he urged his audience to help him close in on a win.
Reflecting on Past Campaigns
The venue, where Trump had previously campaigned in 2016, held a symbolic importance as the former president reminisced about his journey over the past nine years. Although not entirely filled to capacity, the crowd remained enthusiastic as Trump spoke about his achievements and hopes for his campaign’s closing chapter. Rep. Dan Bishop, the Republican candidate for North Carolina Attorney General, thanked attendees, referring to the rally as a historic event.
Addressing Key Topics and Allies
During the rally, Trump touched on a wide range of issues, including the role of Elon Musk as a supporter and his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, who has advocated for animal rights. While jokingly suggesting that President Joe Biden supported him — a statement he later clarified as humor — Trump criticized key Democratic figures Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi, making the crowd more vocal.
Campaign Sentiments and Looking Ahead
Trump expressed gratitude to his campaign team, dismissing recent rumors of internal discord as he praised Chris LaCivita, Susie Wiles, and other staff members. He described the moment as “the end of a journey” but hinted at future ambitions, saying, “A new one will be starting … to make America great again.”
