(TND) — Former President Donald Trump will hold a campaign rally Saturday afternoon in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Trump’s camp highlighted inflation and higher housing costs in the announcement for the rally.
“Under Kamala Harris, the American Dream is slipping away and it’s hardworking North Carolinians who are paying the price,” the Trump campaign statement reads. “Americans still overwhelmingly want what generations before them had—a home to call their own, the ability to raise a family, and a comfortable retirement. But Kamala Harris, with her disastrous policies, is singlehandedly destroying these aspirations.”
North Carolina’s Republican Lt. Governor Mark Robinson, who is running for governor, won’t join Trump at the rally, according to The Associated Press.
Robinson is engulfed in controversy following a CNN report about alleged inflammatory comments Robinson made on a pornography website’s message board years ago.
Trump’s rally comes a week after a second apparent assassination attempt against him, this time at the former president’s Florida golf course.
