Trump to return to North Carolina to stump for special election candidate (Dan Bishop)
The Hill ^ | 8/22/19 | ZACK BUDRYK

President Trump on Thursday evening tweeted a forthcoming rally in North Carolina in support of Republican congressional candidate Dan Bishop.

Trump did not specify the date of his appearance, but without naming Bishop’s Democratic opponent Dan McCready, accused McCready of “lik[ing] the ‘Squad’ more than North Carolina,” in reference to four progressive freshman members of Congress Trump has repeatedly attacked in recent months.

At Trump’s most recent North Carolina rally, controversy erupted after the crowd began chanting “Send her back” in reference to one of the four, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), a Somali refugee. Trump has since said he did not approve of the chant but allowed it to continue for several seconds at the time.

KEYWORDS: bishop; elections; nc; trump
The special election between Bishop and McCready is set for Sept. 10. Only one poll of the race has been publicly released thus far, and shows the two tied at 46 percent.

Maybe the 'squad' should show up and help out McCready. That would be fun.

We can agree to disagree. Nothing personal about Trump: I had the same objection to visits from Obama and Biden.

Bishop and McCready along with two third-party candidates special Sept. 10 election to fill the seat that’s been vacant since January.

It looks like this election is to replace a Republican. If this is an historically Republican district it would be bad news indeed if the Rat were to take it...particularly in a swing state like NC.

Don't know who they are, but there are two third party candidates. I smell shenanigans.

Uh, oh. Just heard that Gropin’ Joe will be in Charlotte on Wednesday. Please protect yourself by maybe staying away from that grade school cafetorium.
