President Trump holds a rally in North Carolina

President Trump will be speaking tonight at a campaign rally in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The event is the 23rd rally the President has held in North Carolina, according to the Trump campaign.

The President's rally comes days after suspected packages were first sent to prominent Democrats, critics of President Donald Trump, and to CNN's New York offices. A suspect, 56-year-old Cesar Sayoc, was arrested in Florida earlier today.

Two new packages were detected this morning, addressed to Sen. Cory Booker and ormer Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.

The devices mark one of the most serious attempts to stoke fear and terror in the US in a period that has already seen a number of violent political attacks. The apparent bombs, while rudimentary in design, according to law enforcement officials, targeted two former US presidents, a former vice president and potential presidential contender, and numerous outspoken critics of the Trump administration.
