Former President Donald Trump held a campaign-style rally at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, on Friday, urging troops to vote for Republicans and criticizing Democrats, according to Time. The event, which took place on an active Army base, saw Trump share the stage with Michael Whatley, a former Republican National Committee chairman and Senate candidate, while touting his military spending plans and celebrating the restoration of the Fort Bragg name.
