President-elect Donald Trump will hold a victory rally in Fayetteville on Tuesday night. The event will begin at 7 p.m.at the Crown Coliseum with the doors opening at 4 p.m.

 

North Carolina was a battleground state that Trump won last month by about 3.6 percentage points over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

 

Fayetteville’s Republican mayor, Nat Robertson, plans to be among many welcoming the next president.

 

“We know that President-elect Trump has a strong commitment to our military, and this visit will mean a great deal to those in uniform, our local heroes, their families and our residents,” Robertson told the Fayetteville Observer.
