Former President Donald Trump will return to North Carolina next week for a rally in Wilmington.
Trump will campaign for Republican U.S. Senate nominee Ted Budd, along with other candidates he has endorsed as part of what the former president described as the “North Carolina Trump Ticket.”
The rally will take place at the Aero Center at Wilmington International Airport on Friday, Sept. 23.
Trump is scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. Other speakers, including Budd, will deliver their remarks before him, beginning at 4 p.m. Access to the rally will open at 2 p.m., and parking lots and registration will open at 8 a.m.

The rally is Trump’s second in the state this year, following one in Selma in April.
At the time, Trump visited North Carolina to campaign for candidates he had endorsed in the Republican primary, which took place in May.
Candidates who spoke at the April rally included Budd, Trump’s pick in the primary for the state’s open Senate seat, and House candidate Bo Hines, who had won the former president’s endorsement for the recently redrawn, unusually competitive 13th Congressional District.
First-term U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn, who also secured Trump’s support but would later be defeated in the GOP primary by state Sen. Chuck Edwards, also spoke at the event.
A rally in Greensboro scheduled for July was canceled days before it was set to take place, after Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr., and his daughter Ivanka Trump were required to testify under oath on the same day, as part of an investigation by authorities in New York into his finances.
Guest speakers for next week’s rally haven’t yet been announced.
