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 Bishops 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 Trumps 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.
The special election between Bishop and McCready is set for Sept. 10. Republican Mark Harris led McCready by 905 counts in returns for the 2018 race, but amid allegations of voter fraud, the North Carolina State Board of Elections declined to certify the results. Harris did not file to run in the special election.
