Trump to Charlotte crowd: 'I will not let you down, watch'

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made a campaign stop in Charlotte Wednesday, where he spoke to a small group of supporters. He focused on urban renewal and a new deal for black America.

Trump has visited North Carolina regularly since accepting the nomination in July. Running mate Indiana Gov. Mike Pence also has been a frequent visitor to the state, including earlier this week.

Trump appeared at a private event at McGlohon Theatre at Spirit Square. He said he wanted a very small group of influential people in the room.

The Republican presidential candidate said he'll pave a way for federal disaster declaration for blighted communities.

"There is nothing we can't accomplish," Trump said. "Maybe the greatest of that potential is in the African-American communities."

The candidate also said he wants the Republican party to be the party of African-Americans.

He headed off to Kinston afterwards to hold a rally at the Kinston Jet Center later Wednesday night.

He was last in Charlotte a week ago when he spoke at the Charlotte Convention Center. There he reiterated his plans to repeal Obamacare, support our veterans, and fix the immigration system.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's husband campaigned for her on Tuesday in North Carolina.

Bill Clinton stopped by early voting sites in Goldsboro, Rocky Mount and Greenville talking about the differences between his wife and Trump.

Bill Clinton will continue drumming up support for his wife with three campaign stops in Eastern North Carolina Wednesday.

Hillary Clinton is expected back in North Carolina on Thursday to campaign with help from first lady Michelle Obama at the Joel Coliseum in Winston-Salem.
