Former US President Donald Trump appears at the North Carolina Republican Convention. 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. "You can't pick people who have already lost two races and do not stand for our values," Trump said. 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.
