Former President Donald Trump held a town hall event in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where he enthusiastically pledged to restore the name of a Confederate general to a military base, igniting cheers from his supporters. During the rally, Trump addressed a military-heavy audience with a fiery speech, criticizing the Democrats' recent momentum and the Biden administration's response to the recent storm, Helene. This visit is seen as crucial in the lead-up to the 2024 election, as Trump aims to win over military voters and counteract tightening polls with rival Kamala Harris.
