Former President Donald Trump, a Republican presidential candidate, speaks at a campaign rally at Williams Arena at Mignes Coliseum, Monday, Oct. 21, 2024, in Greenville. At the event, Trump said he would like God to oversee the vote count in California, where he claimed 100,000 people attended a rally and where he is convinced he has more support than previously recorded.

Donald Trump hopes for some divine intervention on Election Day.

Speaking before thousands of MAGA fans at a sold-out rally in Greenville, North Carolina, the former president claimed he has massive support from the Carolinas to California.

“I was in California,” he told the audience, which included local college students and North Carolinians from across the eastern half of the state. “We have some of the biggest crowds you’ve ever seen.”

Continuing the greatness of his crowd in California, where he recently held a rally at Coachella, Trump suggested that if the Lord willed, the former president could really use his help on November 5.

“I would love for God to come and be the vote counter just for a day and see how well we do in California,” Trump said.

“The vote counter is much more important than the candidate,” he continued.

Trump is involved in litigation related to his actions to allegedly overturn the 2020 election and has long said the race was rigged and the machines used to count votes were suspect.

However, when it came to California, it wasn’t even close to winning.

In 2020, President Joe Biden won about 64 percent of the vote in the Golden State compared to Trump’s 34 percent.

But if God got an honest recount of the votes, maybe the results would come out differently, Trump suggested.

“They send out millions and millions of ballots,” he continued, referring to their mail-in voting efforts. “They don’t know what the hell is going on.”

The former commander in chief also mentioned that despite being told he won’t win in California, he believes he has more support there than previously noted.

“No matter what, they say, well, California’s not available.”

He went on to say, “When I have a rally, I have 100,000 people.” They have a rally, they have 200 people,” he said of Kamala Harris.

“And they say they are going to win,” added the Republican. “They’re not going to win.”

Overall, the rally was similar to many of the campaign events he has held in the final stretch leading up to the elections in just 15 days.

The former president called Vice President Harris a “stupid person” who has contributed to the rising cost of living and insecurity on the US-Mexico border.

He also touted his favorite policies, such as implementing sweeping tariffs on goods entering the U.S., eliminating taxes on tips and Social Security payments, and cutting regulations.

Another important point that the former president repeatedly stressed is his desire for everyone to go out and vote during early voting, which is already underway.

“You just have to make sure that we vote, that it’s counted,” he said.

So far, more than one million North Carolinians have already voted in the 2024 election, according to local officials.

As of Sunday, more than 939,000 people in the state had voted early in person since it began last week. Another 78,000 people in the state voted by mail.

State election officials also received more than 11,000 ballots from overseas North Carolina voters and 2,700 members of the military.

35 percent of the votes were cast by Democrats, 33 percent by Republicans and 31 percent by unaffiliated voters. The total represents about 13 percent of all eligible voters in the state who have cast ballots so far.

Trump said Monday that he was surprised by the huge early voting numbers in the state.

‘We are very impressed. And I think they have a pretty good system here…they’re amazing people. “Incredible spirit and heart… but the fact that they came out and voted in record numbers is pretty amazing to me,” he said.

Donald Trump’s youngest daughter, Tiffany, also attended the Greenville rally.

It was the first time the 31-year-old was seen on the campaign trail since Donald Trump announced she was pregnant at the Detroit Economic Forum on October 10.

She was photographed with her husband Michael Boulos, 27, sitting in the stands.

Boulos is taking a more active role in Trump’s campaign during his second campaign.

The two tied the knot at Mar-a-Lago in November 2022.
