Former President Donald Trump will be back in North Carolina next month as the headline speaker for the state Republican Party's annual convention, the party said Monday morning.

The North Carolina GOP's 2021 State Convention will be in Greenville. The former president is scheduled to speak at a dinner on June 5.

“President Trump won North Carolina in 2016 by promising to put America First, and he won North Carolina in 2020 by keeping that promise. President Trump delivered real results for North Carolina by rebuilding the military, standing strong against China, and unleashing the American Economy," State Party Chair Michael Whatley said in a statement.

"We are honored to welcome President Trump to our convention as the Republican Party launches our campaign to retake Congress and the Senate in the 2022 midterms,” he said.

Trump won North Carolina with 50.1% of the vote in November, but ultimately did not win the White House.

Nationally, the GOP has been split on what to do about the former president after his supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol building on January 6.

The party just removed Rep. Liz Cheney from her leadership role on the Hill because she continued to criticize the former president for the violence.

Many North Carolina Republicans have thrown their hat in with the former president to get his support in the midterm elections next year. Trump has indicated that he could run for president again in 2024.

Trump enjoys widespread support in eastern North Carolina. He lost Pitt County last year, but he won many other counties in the coastal plain region with more than 60% of the vote.

This will be Trump's third visit to Greenville in as many years. He was last in the city in October for a campaign rally.
