United States President Donald Trump is urging North Carolina voters to "take the first steps" toward removing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and "winning the back the House in 2020."

Trump is in Fayetteville campaigning on behalf of Republican Dan Bishop in a closely watched special election that takes place Tuesday. Bishop is running against Democrat Dan McCready for a House seat.

Trump is trying to fire up GOP voters by trashing Democrats. He says a vote for any Democrat in 2020 is "a vote for the rise of radical socialism and the destruction of the American dream."

He says he offers "the only positive vision for the people of North Carolina."

He says, "Our first task is a giant victory tomorrow."

2nd Amendment state

President Donald Trump is touting North Carolina as a "very big 2nd Amendment state" as Congressional Democrats push for expanded background checks for gun purchases.

Trump is campaigning on behalf of Republican Dan Bishop in a closely watched special election. He says Bishop is going to "protect your 2nd Amendment."

Trump is also emphasizing immigration issues. He tells supporters at the campaign rally in Fayetteville that "to protect your family, you must defeat open borders."

Bishop is running against Democrat Dan McCready in a Republican-leaning congressional district.

A Republican loss in Tuesday's special election, combined with a wave of recent bad headlines, could portend trouble for the president's 2020 reelection campaign.

Trump Republican Clout

President Donald Trump's rally in North Carolina will serve as a measure of his clout in trying to elect a Republican to the House in a closely watched special election that's seen as a tossup race.

It will be his first campaign rally since a tough end of summer that saw slipping poll numbers, warning signs of an economic slowdown and a running battle over hurricane forecasts.

Trump will visit the state Monday night on the eve of the House election. He enjoys wide popularity within his own party, but a GOP defeat in a red-leaning state could portend trouble for his reelection campaign.
