WASHINGTON _ Facing a large deficit in the polls with less than three weeks until Election Day, President Donald Trump returned to North Carolina on Thursday and assured supporters that he would win the state and capture reelection.
It was the first day of in-person early voting in the state, which is critical to Trump's reelection chances and where Democratic challenger Joe Biden holds a small but consistent 3- to 4-point lead in recent polls.
"This is the most important election of our lives, maybe in the history of our country. So get your friends, get your family, get your neighbors, get out and vote," Trump said. "The red wave is coming. The red wave is coming."
