FAYETTEVILLE, N.C./WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump is going all-out to try to keep a North Carolina district in the Republican column in a special congressional election on Tuesday that may serve as a bellwether for his own fortunes in 2020.
Bishop’s campaign ads have said McCready “admires socialism” and linked him to the “Squad,” a group of progressive House Democrats that Trump has repeatedly attacked.“To stop the far left, you must vote in tomorrow’s special election,” Trump told the cheering crowd. “Tomorrow is your chance to send a message to the America-hating left.”
McCready met with fellow veterans in Fayetteville hours before Trump’s speech and talked about how Americans were getting “crushed” by healthcare costs. He sent out a fundraising email after the Republican rally, headlined: “Trump just attacked me on stage.” Trump said he believed Bishop had a good chance of winning and that the contest had become “less close” since his own involvement began about two weeks ago. Trump stressed, however, that “I’m not running.”
But Democrats are daring to hope for an upset that would build on their takeover of the House from Republicans in elections last year and make further inroads in “Trump country.”The national press secretary for Trump’s 2020 campaign, Kayleigh McEnany, dismissed the idea that the 9th District election was predictive of the 2020 campaign.“No, I don’t see it as a bellwether,” Trump told reporters before he left the White House.
