HAPPENING NOW: Pres. Trump holds a 2020 campaign rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
President Donald Trump touched down in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on Monday in an all-out push for a Republican victory in a tight special election race.
At the White House, Trump spoke with reporters before he left for North Carolina and said that he didn't see the race as a bellwether for the 2020 election. He pointed out that in 2018, the Republicans kept the Senate."No, I don't see it as a bellwether," President Trump says when asked about the North Carolina special election.
The spotlight on North Carolina has spanned far past Tuesday's special election. Earlier this summer, less than 100 miles away from where the president will hold his rally chants of"send her back" echoed throughout the president's rally in Greenville as he zeroed in on his attacks against four congresswomen of color.
"I would have to see the results to say if there's any broader national implications. But If McCready's focus on the district, on health care … if that is successful, then Democrats should look at other districts that they didn't win and say our strategy seems to be working, we just have to run the right kind of candidate," Blitzer said.
