Ivanka Trump to campaign for her father in NC at ‘fireside chat’

WILMINGTON, N.C. — President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign plans to host a “fireside chat” with Ivanka Trump in North Carolina on Monday.

“I am excited to be back in North Carolina, and speaking with members of the community about how President Trump has delivered for hardworking American families,” Ivanka said ahead of the visit. “President Trump has kept his promises and increased funding for our tremendous military, fostered peace in the Middle East and is bringing home our troops, cut taxes for hardworking families, and delivered USMCA for American workers and farmers. He will continue to fight for North Carolinians for the next four years!”

News outlets report that the event in Wilmington will be moderated by Trump 2020 National Press Secretary Hogan Gidley.

It will be Ivanka Trump’s second visit to North Carolina in a week and her fifth in the last 3 1/2 years. On Thursday, she toured a local farmers market in Raleigh and participated in a Farmers to Families Food Box distribution event.

President Trump has made numerous stops in North Carolina over the past couple of weeks, including in Wilmington, where he declared the city a “World War II Heritage City” on V-J Day, the day when Japan surrendered, bringing the war to an end.
