唐纳德·特朗普周三在北卡罗来纳州加斯顿亚举行竞选集会，为共和党参议院候选人迈克尔·沃特利助选13。特朗普在集会上向支持者发出直接呼吁："我只是希望你们假装我在选票上，因为本质上我确实在。"1这次活动是特朗普在共和党全国代表大会后的首场竞选活动，旨在动员共和党基层支持者，提振该党在即将举行的选举中的前景1。
特朗普在集会上针对沃特利的民主党对手——前州长罗伊·库珀展开了攻击13。他以犯罪问题作为主要批评点，并引用了23岁乌克兰难民伊琳娜·扎鲁茨卡在夏洛特轻轨被刺杀的事件来抨击民主党的犯罪管理政策1。特朗普还批评库珀关于联邦储备委员会的政策，称其导致的利率上升"太高"1。作为回应，沃特利称特朗普为"我们这一代最伟大的总统"1。
北卡罗来纳州这场参议院竞选具有重要意义。该州自2008年以来尚未选出民主党参议员1，而民主党需要在至少四个共和党控制的席位中获胜才能控制参议院1。
Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Gastonia, North Carolina on Wednesday to mobilize support for Republican Senate candidate Michael Whatley.13 During the event, Trump directed voters to treat him as effectively part of the ballot, telling supporters: "I just want you to go out and pretend I'm on the ticket, because essentially I am."1 The rally marked Trump's first campaign appearance following the Republican National Convention, aimed at energizing his base ahead of the November election.1
Trump used the occasion to attack Democratic opponent Roy Cooper, the state's former governor.1 He criticized Cooper's record on crime management and challenged his positions on Federal Reserve policy, claiming the rate increases had been set too high.1 Trump also referenced the case of Irina Zarutskyy, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who was fatally stabbed on a Charlotte light rail, invoking the incident as part of his criticism of Democratic approaches to public safety.1 For Republicans to control the Senate, they must win at least four seats currently held by Democrats, and North Carolina has not elected a Democratic senator since 2008.1
Whatley responded to Trump's support by calling him "the greatest president of our generation."1
