Trump heading to battleground NC to headline state GOP convention
Fox News
Former President Trump will attend the North Carolina GOP's state convention in Greenville on June 5 and will speak at the convention dinner, the state party shared first with Fox News.
Trump’s address will be his first outside of his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., since his keynote speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Feb. 28 in Florida. The former president also addressed the Republican National Committee’s private spring donor retreat at Mar-a-Lago on April 10. Trump has lived at his residence at the south Florida resort since leaving the White House on Jan. 20. North Carolina is a crucial general election battleground state that Trump won by just over three and a half points in his 2016 presidential election victory over Hillary Clinton and by just over a point over Joe Biden in his 2020 reelection defeat. The state will be the site of a key open-seat Senate election in the 2022 midterms that could determine when the Democrats hold their majority or if the Republicans win back the chamber, as well as a likely competitive race for governor.More Related News
