Trump vowed to restore Fort Liberty's name back to Fort Bragg after it was changed to drop Confederate names of military bases.

Fort Liberty, previously known as Fort Bragg, was renamed in 2022 as part of a sweeping Army push to change the names of installations honoring Confederate soldiers.

At a recent North Carolina rally, former President Donald Trump pledged to reinstate the names of Confederate generals on military bases. His primary focus was renaming Fort Bragg, renamed Fort Liberty after the tragic death of George Floyd.

By Gram Slattery and Alexandra Ulmer FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina (Reuters) -Donald Trump campaigned in North Carolina on Friday for the fourth time in a month, as the Republican presidential candidate tries to firm up support in a state he was handily leading a few months ago but is now among the most competitive in the race.

Both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris this week visited Georgia, a state that President Joe Biden won by just 11,779 votes in 2020. Georgia and North Carolina each have 16 electoral votes, and polls show that Trump is leading Harris by about 1 percentage point in each state, well within the margin of error.

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is heading to North Carolina on Saturday as the state recovers from Hurricane Helene, arriving there one day after a visit by Republican Donald Trump, who is spreading false claims about the federal response to the disaster.
