Former President Donald Trump made sure to put on a show for those who waited hours to see him on Sunday in Kinston.
This was his 62nd straight day he had a rally and he has a few more left before Tuesday.
"The atmosphere, the energy is fun you have to support your candidates," said Kim Hoff from Rocky Mount.
Sunday's stage was equipped with glass to protect the former president after what happened in Butler Pennsylvania.
He did a flyover in his own plane before circling back to greet a supportive crowd on the ground in Lenoir County.
"I'm thrilled to be back. In this beautiful state with thousands of proud, hardworking American patriots," said Trump.
Trump tackled familiar topics like the economy and the crisis at the southern border.
"The American dream is going to be brought back at the highest level. And this is all you have to know. Kamala broke it, and I will fix it and then go quickly," Trump said.
He continued to push the false narrative that the federal government was giving money to migrants instead of those affected by Hurricane Helene.
Trump also touted record-high numbers of early votes in favor of Republicans.
"He's a smart man, he's a businessman, he knows what he's doing and he'll do it again," said rally attendee Kathy Baker.
