Desperate Democrat Don Davis is facing challenges as President Donald Trump plans to rally voters in Rocky Mount on Wednesday. He will be joined by Retired U.S. Army Colonel Laurie Buckhout, the Republican nominee for Congress in NC-01.

Laurie Buckhout is gaining momentum toward a potential victory in NC-01, attracting attention from national media and prominent Republicans such as President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson. The Young Republican National Federation has also announced a volunteer deployment to northeastern North Carolina to support both Trump and Buckhout in the upcoming November elections.

Republicans are turning out in significant numbers for early voting across North Carolina, leading Democrats to express concern. Don Davis appears particularly affected by this situation.

The planned rally in Rocky Mount will take place near Davis's home base and follows allegations that his campaign has misled voters with false claims about his background and political record.

Allegations against the Don Davis Campaign include:

- Claims of being a "retired" member of the U.S. Air Force.

- Misrepresenting involvement with Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City.

- A liberal stance on border policies, including votes against border wall construction and actions related to immigration enforcement.

Additionally, there are criticisms regarding Davis's support for policies like taxpayer-funded sex change surgeries and positions on gender issues in sports and public facilities.

Voters in Eastern North Carolina have expressed dissatisfaction with what they perceive as a liberal agenda from figures like Don Davis and Vice President Kamala Harris, which they argue has negatively impacted various aspects of society. The upcoming election on November 5th will determine whether Laurie Buckhout joins Congress alongside President Trump potentially returning to the White House.
