Trump reflects on end of campaign
Reflecting on the end of the campaign, Trump said, “I won’t be doing this anymore with North Carolina, and I won’t be doing this anymore … after today.”
“I’m just thinking, as I’m going through this, that this will be our final moment, but … the more exciting moment is going to begin,” he added. “These moments of hundreds and hundreds of the most incredible rallies any country, no country has ever seen anything like that. But these moments that we’ve had together, these really were just to create what we hopefully will create tomorrow, which is we’re going to make America great again.”

Trump once again made the false claim that FEMA funds were allocated to help undocumented migrants.
“FEMA did a horrible job. The administration – they’re still not there. You know why? Because they’ve spent all their money on bringing in murderers and a lot of people,” Trump said on Monday in Raleigh, North Carolina, speaking about hurricanes striking Florida, North Carolina, and other states. “They spent all their money on bringing in illegal migrants. They’ve also taken a lot of your jobs, especially jobs from the Black population.”
