President Donald Trump will campaign in Fayetteville on Sept. 9.

Trump will hold a “Keep America Great” rally at the Fayetteville Regional Airport, according to a statement released Tuesday by his campaign. The event will be at 7 p.m., with doors opening for general admission at 4 p.m., the statement said.

Michael Glassner, the chief operating officer for the campaign, credited Trump in the statement with transforming North Carolina’s economy and creating more than 175,000 jobs in the state.

“President Trump will be returning to the great state of North Carolina to celebrate his historic achievements on behalf of the American people and his long record of accomplishments in the state,” Glassner said.

Trump’s visit will come the night before a special election in the race for the District 9 congressional seat. Trump tweeted Thursday that he planned to campaign for Republican Dan Bishop, who is running against Democrat Dan McCready in the race.

McCready appeared to have narrowly lost in the November election for the seat. An investigation found evidence of fraud in the race, so state officials ordered a new election.

Bishop met with about 20 veterans in Fayetteville last week. McCready is a Marine Corps veteran.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
