Former president Donald Trump speaks at the North Carolina Republican Convention in Greenville, North Carolina on June 5, 2021. While Trump remains a dominant force within his party, he is deeply unpopular among key segments of the broader electorate. Invited to the stage briefly during his remarks, Trump daughter-in-law and North Carolina native Lara Trump announced she would not run for the Senate because of family obligations. McCrory served as the North Carolina governor from 2013 to 2017 but lost elections before and after his term. Since leaving the White House, Trump has regularly made baseless claims that the last presidential election was stolen.
