'Trump Boat Parade' on Belews Lake draws crowd supporting president's reelection

Dozens of boaters flew "Trump 2020" flags in support of the president's reelection campaign. At least one boater displayed a cardboard cutout of the U.S. President.

STOKESDALE, N.C. — More than 50 boaters set sail for politics on Sunday, participating in a "Trump Boat Parade" on Belews Lake near Stokesdale.

Videos and photos show dozens of boaters flying "Trump 2020" flags in support of the president's reelection campaign. At least one boater displayed a cardboard cutout of the president.

The boat parade is just one of many across the country this Labor Day Weekend, including one parade in Texas' Lake Travis where five boats sank on Saturday.
