北卡罗来纳州罗利——前总统唐纳德·特朗普共和党官员周一宣布，他将于下月在北卡罗来纳州共和党年度大会上发表讲话。
这位前总统将在6月5日格林维尔的大会晚宴上亲自发言。特朗普在2020年险胜北卡罗来纳，并在竞选即将结束时在该州举行了多次活动。
共和党全国委员会(NC GOP)发言人李维·波伦(Livy Polen)表示，特朗普的演讲将不对媒体开放，记者将无法通过直播或替代形式观看。
特朗普卸任后一直保持相对低调的公众形象。他最近一次重要的公开演讲是在2月份的CPAC大会上。他仍然被禁止在推特和脸书上发表言论，他的公开评论主要是以书面声明和呼吁右倾新闻媒体的形式出现的。
特朗普的儿媳劳拉·特朗普(Lara Trump)尚未公开排除2022年在北卡罗来纳州竞选美国参议员的可能性，并表示对这场比赛感兴趣。特朗普没有支持已经在竞选共和党参议员理查德·伯尔(Richard Burr)空出的席位的三名共和党人中的任何一人。
竞争该党2022年美国参议院提名的北卡罗来纳州美国众议员特德·巴德(Ted Budd)和前众议员马克·沃克(Mark Walker)定于出席大会，美国众议员麦迪逊·卡霍恩(Madison Cawthorn)和该州国会代表团的其他四名成员也将出席。南达科他州共和党州长克里斯蒂·诺姆将作为嘉宾发言。
特朗普表示有兴趣在2024年再次竞选总统，但尚未宣布决定。该州希望特朗普能帮助共和党人在即将到来的中期选举中重新控制美国众议院。全国共和党主席迈克尔·沃特利(Michael Whatley)是特朗普的坚定盟友，他也是前总统2020年13名北卡罗来纳州选民之一，他希望特朗普在北卡罗来纳州政治中发挥积极作用。
Whatley在一份新闻稿中说:“特朗普总统通过重建军队，坚定地反对中国，解放美国经济，为北卡罗来纳州带来了真正的结果。”“我们很荣幸欢迎特朗普总统参加我们的大会，因为共和党正在发起我们的运动，在2022年中期选举中夺回国会和参议院。”
伯尔在投票弹劾特朗普后，受到了州共和党的指责。
Trump to speak at North Carolina GOP convention on June 5
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Former PresidentDonald Trumpwill speak at North Carolina’s annual state Republican Party convention next month, party officials announced Monday.
The former president will speak in person at the June 5 convention dinner in Greenville. Trump narrowly carried North Carolina in 2020 and held numerous events in the state toward the end of his campaign.
Trump's speech will be closed to the media, and journalists won't be able to view it via livestream or alternate forms, said Livy Polen, a spokeswoman for the NC GOP.
Trump has kept a relatively low public profile since leaving office. His last significant public speech was in February at the CPAC convention. He's still banned from Twitter and Facebook, and his public comments have largely come in the form of written statements and calling into right-leaning news outlets.
Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump has not yet publicly ruled out a 2022 U.S. Senate run in North Carolina and has expressed interest in the contest. Trump has not endorsed any of the three Republicans already running for the seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Richard Burr.
North Carolina U.S. Rep. Ted Budd and former Rep. Mark Walker, who are vying for the party’s 2022 U.S. Senate nomination, are scheduled to attend the convention, as are U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn and four other members of the state's congressional delegation. Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem will serve as a guest speaker.
Trump has expressed interest in running for president again in 2024 but has not yet announced a decision. The state party hopes Trump can help Republicans retake control of the U.S. House in the upcoming midterms. NCGOP Chairman Michael Whatley, a staunch Trump ally who also served as one of the former president's 13 North Carolina electors in 2020, wants Trump to play an active role in North Carolina politics.
“President Trump delivered real results for North Carolina by rebuilding the military, standing strong against China and unleashing the American Economy,” Whatley said in a news release. "We are honored to welcome President Trump to our convention as the Republican Party launches our campaign to retake Congress and the Senate in the 2022 midterms .”
Burr was censured by the state Republican Party following his vote to impeach Trump.
