President Trump’s 2020 campaign has shifted the location for a rally in North Carolina on Monday from the Fayettesville Regional Airport to the city’s Crown Expo Center.  

Campaign spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany announced the change on Twitter on Friday, as North Carolina was being battered by Hurricane Dorian.

A Trump campaign official told The Hill that logistical problems with flight times at the Fayettesville hangar had prompted the change.

Bishop is going up against Democrat Dan McCready in an election scheduled after state officials found last year’s vote for the 9th District was tainted with pervasive fraud.

This will be the second Trump rally in the swing state since July.

The last one made headlines and drew bipartisan criticism after attendees chanted “send her back” in reference to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), a refugee from Somalia.
