He arrived while still taking criticism for his tweet urging four Democratic congresswomen of color to return to their countries.

The president spoke for just over 90 minutes to a packed Minges Coliseum.

He credited tax cuts and reduced regulations for our state's unemployment rate of about 4 percent.

The president also discussed recent tweets regarding Democratic congresswomen, suggesting they leave the country while the crowd chanted "Send her back!"

North Carolina played a key role in the president's victory four years ago, and campaign officials say they will prioritize the Tar Heel State again in 2020.

Vice President Mike Pence attended a private fundraiser for 9th Congressional District candidate Dan Bishop in Fayetteville and then spoke to Fort Bragg military personnel and guests before joining Trump in Greenville.

The event started at 7 p.m. in Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum. Ticket information can be found on the campaign's website.
