“Democrats are certainly not showing us promise there. They just they do know nothing except taxes and spend. Taxes and spend. That’s the name of the Democrat Party. And we’re being fed lies every day by the Democrats. So that’s the bottom line as far as I’m concerned.”

“Immigration is definitely something that worries me. We, I personally feel like America is a huge melting pot. It’s important to accept people to come into this nation. But it’s also important to do it the right way, the legal way, and I think it has not been done with the current administration.”

STORYLINE:
Donald Trump will have an opportunity to recalibrate his presidential comeback bid with a rally and speech in North Carolina that his campaign is billing as a significant economic address.
The event on Wednesday afternoon in Asheville carries both national and local implications for the former president.
Aides and allies say Trump must sharpen his arguments against Vice President Kamala Harris and draw a clear policy contrast, especially on the economy.
Outside the event, supporters of the former president lined up, eager to see Trump speak.
Sammi Davis was there with her father, both of whom support Trump.
“Immigration is definitely something that worries me. We, I personally feel like America is a huge melting pot. It’s important to accept people to come into this nation. But it’s also important to do it the right way, the legal way, and I think it has not been done with the current administration,” Davis said.
Suzanne Kastner, who was visiting from Florida, says that Donald Trump’s record speaks for itself.
And North Carolina resident Charles Boudreaux says he’s voting for Trump for the future of the country and the future of his bank account.
