SWANNANOA, N.C.—Standing on the silt-covered ground amid piles of debris, former President Donald Trump said the aftermath of Hurricane Helene left him awestruck. So did the grit of North Carolinians who cast a record-breaking number of early votes as they continued grappling with the storm’s aftermath.
In response to a question from The Epoch Times at an Oct. 21 news conference near Asheville, North Carolina, Trump shared his message to those early voters: “The first thing I'd say is, ‘We love you,’ because that’s really something special, really, for them to do that.”
More than 353,000 North Carolina voters cast ballots on Oct. 17, breaking the state’s record for the first day of early voting, elections officials said; more than 1 million votes have been cast in North Carolina despite widespread damage. Among the state’s 100 counties, 25 are declared disaster areas.
“I mean, they lost their house and they’re standing outside, voting,” Trump said, adding, “These are special people. These are people with heart.”
