Donald Trump Rallies in Raleigh: ‘We’re Leading,’ ‘Ours to Lose,’ ‘Vote!’


Former President Donald Trump rallied supporters on Monday in Raleigh, North Carolina, a swing state that some political experts believe he will win.

North Carolina has historically been a red state. In 2020, President Joe Biden lost it by a margin of 1.34 percent.

“We’re leading. All we have to do is we have to close it out,” Trump said at the top of his remarks. “If we get our vote, there’s nothing they can do.”

“I’ve never lost in North Carolina,” Trump exclaimed. 

Trump will hold four rallies on the day before Election Day. After Raleigh, he will also appear in Reading, Pennsylvania, at 2:00 p.m.; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at 6:00 p.m.; and Grand Rapids, Michigan, at 10:30 p.m.

“It’s ours to lose. Does that make sense to you?” Trump asked. “It’s ours to lose if we, if we get everybody out and vote; there’s not a thing they can do.”

“Get out and vote,” he said. “We’re doing something historic.”

Trump framed the election in terms successfully used by Ronald Reagan: “I’d like to begin by asking a very simple question. Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” 

“No!” the crowd shouted back.

Trump also spoke about immigration and protecting American jobs.

“We have a new president in Mexico. I am going to inform her on day one or sooner: if they don’t stop this onslaught of criminals and drugs coming into our country, I am going to immediately impose a 25 percent tariff on everything they send into the United States of America,” he said:

Political experts said for months that whichever candidate wins Pennsylvania wins the election, but Harris could win Pennsylvania and lose the election, journalist Mark Halperin said on his 2Way platform“My reporting is that she’s [Harris] in trouble in Wisconsin.”

National and swing state polling suggests Harris and Trump are virtually tied. Early voter data, which is more valuable than polling at this point in the race, indicates a stronger position for Trump, although it is unclear if the data will continue to trend in the right direction:

“This is based on three sources, two Republicans, one Democrat, all of whom know the state quite well, and all of whom told me today the same version of they would be somewhere between surprised and shocked if Kamala Harris won Wisconsin,” Halperin said. 

“The focus has been on Pennsylvania,” Halperin continued. “[Harris] may well win Pennsylvania and win the election, but she could win Pennsylvania and lose the election because she doesn’t win Wisconsin. Watch Wisconsin”:

    What Ceasefire? ‘Heavy Clashes’ In South Lebanon As Beirut Buildings Leveled

    Despite all the recent talk of a potential ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel in the works, regional reports say that some of the fiercest ground fighting is currently taking place in southern Lebanon on Friday.

    Heavy Israeli aerial bombardments of the southern suburbs of Beirut have also continued with intensity. On Friday an Israeli missile completely leveled a residential multi-story in the neighborhood of Chiyah. Israel’s military reportedly issued a civilian evacuation alert shortly before, and terrifying video from the scene suggests locals knew it was about to be struck.

    In the south of Lebanon, near the border, UN peacekeeping forces say they are monitoring “heavy clashes” on Friday, saying most of the fighting is centered in the coastal town of Naqoura as well as the village of Chamaa.

    There are also emerging reports which say four Italian soldiers were injured after two rockets hit a UNIFIL base in Chamaa. Italy’s deputy prime minister has said Hezbollah was likely behind the rocket firing: “There were believed to be two missiles, from what it appears, they are believed to have been launched by Hezbollah.”

    Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni issued a statement of “deep indignation and concern” over “new attacks suffered by the Italian headquarters of UNIFIL in southern Lebanon.”

    “These attacks are unacceptable,” she stated, adding that “the parties on the ground to guarantee, at all times, the safety of UNIFIL soldiers and to collaborate to quickly identify those responsible.”

    “We are aware of heavy shelling in the vicinity of our bases,” UNIFIL spokesman Andrea Tenenti has said, saying that since the incident all UN troops appear to be safe “for the moment”.

    Up until now, the UNIFIL has claimed its command posts came under attack by Israeli forces, including IDF tanks, several times. This appears to be the first time that Hezbollah fired on UN locations.

    IDF forces earlier this week reached their deepest point into Lebanon since the ground invasion began, in the countryside vicinity of the port city of Tyre, which has been pummeled by airstrikes.

    Israel has repeatedly demanded that the UNIFIL troops withdraw – requests which have been refused. This puts the UNIFIL outposts in the direct line of fire as the war encircles their positions.

    “UNIFIL strongly urges combating parties to avoid fighting next to its positions. Inviolability of UN premises and personnel must be respected at all times,” a Friday statement said.
