As the 2024 Presidential election rapidly approaches in just 28 days, a segment of the Trump campaign made a notable appearance in New Hanover County. This marked the initial visit to North Carolina for the Trump Bus, with additional stops scheduled in Fayetteville and Rocky Mount on Wednesday. Notably, the Trump Bus had also made a stop in Wilmington during the 2020 election period. North Carolina serves as the 3rd battleground state on the bus’s route, following visits to Wisconsin and Georgia.
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds and former California Lieutenant Governor Abel Maldonado are among the notable figures aboard the bus, engaging with supporters and delivering speeches. Attendee Susan Lamy expressed her enthusiasm about witnessing prominent GOP members address the crowd, emphasizing the importance of unity and support for President Trump within the party.
The bus tour is set to make further stops across North Carolina throughout Thursday and Friday, engaging with voters and spreading campaign messaging ahead of the imminent election.
