特朗普北卡集会为共和党参议员候选人站台：重申5,000美元承诺与芯片投资
10月20日晚，美国总统特朗普在北卡罗来纳州 Greenville 的 Pitt-Greenville Airport 举行集会，为共和党联邦参议员候选人 Michael Whatley 站台。Whatley 寻求接替退休的参议员 Thom Tillis，对手是民主党前州长 Roy Cooper，多项民调显示 Cooper 领先约 10 至 14 个百分点，北卡这一席被视为今年中期选举最关键的战场之一。
集会上，商务部长 Howard Lutnick 登台宣布，矿业公司 Sibelco 将扩大在北卡的产能；特朗普表示，国防部将投资 15 亿美元在北卡罗来纳州开展半导体芯片生产。特朗普重申，若共和党保住国会控制权，每名美国成年人将获得 5,000 美元，并称「如果我们输了，你们什么都得不到」。谈到民调时他说：「他们从来没有把我们的民调做对过。我们的精神比这强得多。」

Trump Rallies in Greenville, North Carolina for Senate Candidate, Touting $5,000 Pledge and Chip Investment
On the evening of October 20, President Donald Trump held a rally at Pitt-Greenville Airport in Greenville, North Carolina, campaigning for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Michael Whatley. Whatley is running to succeed retiring Senator Thom Tillis against former Democratic Governor Roy Cooper, who leads by roughly 10 to 14 points in several polls, making the North Carolina seat one of the most closely watched battlegrounds of this year's midterm elections.
At the rally, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick took the stage to announce that mining company Sibelco will expand its production capacity in North Carolina, and Trump said the Department of Defense will invest $1.5 billion in semiconductor chip production in the state. Trump repeated his pledge that every American adult will receive $5,000 if Republicans keep control of Congress, adding, "If we lose, you get nothing." On the polls, he said: "They never poll us right. We have more spirit than that."
The White House had not yet posted a transcript or official video of the rally remarks on its website; this report is compiled from on-the-scene public reporting and will be updated when the official text is released.
