President Donald Trump traveled to Greenville, North Carolina, Tuesday night to gin up support for Republicans in the final sprint to the November midterm elections.
asserted
Trump → travel → elections
Trump's visit comes as part of a multi-state campaign blitz he's launched in the final stretch of the midterms, which includes stops in South Carolina, Iowa, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and Texas.
asserted
which → come → Carolina
At these events, his messaging strategy has been consistent - urging voters to 'pretend' he is on the ballot - a theme Trump seized on during the Tuesday night event in Greenville.
asserted
Trump → urge → Greenville
'Because when I'm on the ballot, we do unbelievably,' Trump said in Greenville.
asserted
Trump → do → Greenville
'Please pretend I'm on a ballot,' Trump said.
asserted
Trump → pretend → ballot

'And I think we're going to do great, I just feel it,' Trump said.
Trump's visit is his second to the Tar Heel state within the last four weeks, and comes as Republicans look to boost support for Republican Senate contender Michael Whatley, the former chair of the Republican National Committee.

Supporters wait for Trump to speak at a midterm campaign rally at Pitt-Greenville Airport in Greenville, North Carolina
Whatley is currently trailing Democratic nominee and former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper in the race to replace outgoing Republican Senator Thom Tillis, and Cooper's wider-than-expected advantage has prompted the top Republican super PAC and other GOP fundraising groups to halt ad spending altogether.
asserted
advantage → attend → spending
Still, Trump is hoping that his appearance in the state can be a boon for Whatley, as voters mass to polling sites across the country to cast their votes.
asserted
voters → hop → votes
Voter turnout in North Carolina is up by a whopping 37 percent compared to the same point in the 2022 midterms, and is also up from 2018 levels.
Cooper has retained a wider-than-expected lead throughout much of the race, and recent polls show him holding a double digit advantage over Whatley.
Cooper's campaign has also nearly tripled Whatley's fundraising numbers, furthering his advantage in the Senate contest, which is considered a must-win for Democrats in order for them to regain control of the chamber this fall.
asserted
them → compare → chamber
A Cooper win would also be a notable victory for Democrats, who have not won a US Senate seat in North Carolina since 2008.
asserted
who → win → 2008
Trump, for his part, has sought to throw his political weight behind Whatley, with whom he has worked closely in his 2024 reelection bid.
asserted
he → seek → bid
Trump also said Tuesday night he was going to travel to the state a third time before Election Day to stump for Republicans - news that was met with audible cheers from his supporters.
asserted
that → say → supporters
