GASTONIA, N.C. — Thousands gathered Wednesday night at the Gastonia Municipal Airport to hear President Donald Trump’s campaign message.
President Trump talked about the pandemic and reopening North Carolina to a crowd of about 20,000 according to the Secret Service.
"I love this state, but you've got to get this governor to open up his state," Trump said.
He also commented on the heated U.S. Senate race in North Carolina. He also took a dig at former Vice President Joe Biden when comparing campaign stops.
"We've got so many people, but Joe doesn't have that problem, he has about five people in a circle," Trump said.
He told supporters, if reelected he would continue to cut taxes, lower drug prices, and support law enforcement. He also, said he’s going to save the suburbs.
"I'm going to save the suburbs. I'm going to stop lower-income housing and stop crime from coming into the suburbs," Trump said.
The rally marks Trump’s sixth time in North Carolina in recent months as he tries to gain support with less than two weeks before Election Day.
Trump and Biden are still locked in a close battle for the Tar Heel State, a state both candidates need to secure the White House.
On the Democratic side, vice presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris also made campaign stops Wednesday in both Asheville and Charlotte.
