Trump’s grandchildren steal the show at North Carolina rally: “Vote for Grandpa”

Former President Trump shared a heartwarming moment with his grandchildren at a rally in battleground North Carolina on Saturday.

The Republican candidate brought his grandchildren Luke and Carolina on stage as he addressed rally attendees in Wilmington.

Luke and Carolina Trump are the young children of Eric and Lara Trump.

“We also have … a very important member of my family. Much more important than Eric or Lara,” Trump joked to the audience. “And her name is Carolina.”

“And she’s beautiful and she’s sweet and she doesn’t know how evil life is,” he added. “Can I ask Carolina to come up? Is that possible?”

Moments later, Trump reappeared at the podium with his five-year-old granddaughter in his arms and led her to the microphone.

“Make America great again,” said Carolina, confusing “America” and “Americans.”

The crowd cheered wildly before Trump introduced Luke and invited him on stage.

“Does anyone want to meet Luke? Your brother? Luke, come up here,” the Republican said before picking up his grandson and leading him to the podium.

7-year-old Luke urged the cheering crowd to “vote for Grandpa,” earning loud applause. Trump told the audience he had actually asked Luke to say something different.

“I whispered in his ear, so sweetly, I said, ‘Say MAGA,'” the presidential candidate said. “He said, ‘Vote for Grandpa.'”

“He didn’t care what I said, and that was actually much better.”

Trump added that his daughter-in-law Lara grew up in North Carolina before continuing his speech against his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.

At the beginning of the rally, Trump stressed the importance of getting voters in the Tar Heel State to the polls.

“In exactly 45 days, we will win North Carolina,” Trump predicted. “We will defeat Kamala Harris and make America great again.”
