Former President Donald Trump recently took to social media to urge North Carolina residents to participate in early voting ahead of the upcoming elections. In a short video posted on TikTok and his new social media platform, Truth Social, Trump highlighted the importance of taking action as absentee ballots were set to go out in the state.
North Carolina, being the first battleground state to kick off the voting process, began sending out absentee by mail ballots on Friday. Trump emphasized the various voting options available to citizens, including mail-in ballots, early voting, and voting on Election Day, stressing the significance of exercising one's right to vote.
During his message, Trump expressed a sense of urgency, stating, 'We've got to save our country, we're the only ones that are going to save it. That other group of people, they're going to destroy our country. We can't let that happen.'
Trump's call to action comes amidst his recent comments regarding mail-in ballots, where he has voiced his belief that such ballots 'shouldn't be allowed.' This stance has been reiterated by Trump in various public appearances, including interviews and rallies.
As the political landscape continues to evolve leading up to the elections, Trump's engagement with voters through social media platforms underscores the importance of civic participation and the impact of early voting in shaping the future of the country.
