Washington: As the U.S. elections approach, Republican candidate Donald Trump ramped up his campaign with three significant rallies—two in North Carolina and one in Virginia—encouraging voters to participate on November 5.
Following the events, Trump posted a video on X, stating, “Three beautiful MAGA RALLIES today in Gastonia, North Carolina, followed by Salem, Virginia—and this evening in Greensboro, North Carolina!” He called on supporters to “stand up and tell Kamala that you’ve had enough,” declaring, “Kamala Harris, You’re Fired!”
During his speeches, Trump expressed confidence about his campaign’s position and emphasized the importance of voter turnout. “When you’re winning by a lot, you could still lose by a little,” he cautioned, stressing the need to secure North Carolina.
At the Gastonia rally, Trump warned that “the suburbs are under attack,” while in Salem, he spoke to a large audience about ushering in a new era of “peace and prosperity.” He continued his criticism of Harris, labeling her a “liberal Left radical.”
Trump also referenced a recent controversy involving a transgender woman allowed to join Roanoke College’s women’s swim team, claiming he met with several female swimmers backstage who voiced their concerns. Swimmer Lily Mullens criticized current policies, saying, “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have advocated for and pushed for this anti-woman sex-based discrimination to continue all over this country,” thanking Trump for “standing with women.”
During the Gatonia rally, Trump noted the recent job growth slowdown, which saw only 12,000 jobs added in October—the lowest increase since 2020. He attributed these issues to what he referred to as “Kamala’s economy” and promised to tackle them if elected.
Immigration was another key focus for Trump, who described open borders as the “biggest issue.” He pledged significant tax cuts, stating, “I will massively cut taxes for workers and small businesses, and we will have no tax on tips.” On immigration, he vowed mass deportations, asserting, “When I’m president, we’re going to evict the illegals, and we’ll take back our properties.”
Trump connected Harris to Biden’s administration, claiming, “Kamala says she would not do one thing differently from crooked Joe Biden, which itself is disqualifying.” His campaign events will continue in Kinston, North Carolina, as he seeks to secure support in other battleground states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
He also raised concerns about the integrity of elections in blue states like California and New York, alleging that election officials would face severe repercussions for requesting voter ID. “If we had an honest election in California, we would win California,” he asserted.
