Trump to speak at North Carolina GOP convention on June 5
Former President Donald Trump will speak at North Carolina’s annual state Republican Party convention next month, party officials announced Monday.
The former president will speak in person at the June 5 convention dinner in Greenville. Trump narrowly carried North Carolina in 2020 and held numerous events in the state toward the end of his campaign.
Trump’s speech will be closed to the media, and journalists won’t be able to view it via livestream or alternate forms, said Livy Polen, a spokeswoman for the NC GOP.

This is a smart move.
“President Trump delivered real results for North Carolina,” said NC GOP chair Michael Whatley.
