President Donald Trump’s grandchildren provided a lighthearted moment during his rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, on Saturday.

The 45th president brought his grandchildren, Luke and Carolina, onto the stage who encouraged viewers to “vote for grandpa.”

“We also have a very important member of my family. Far more important than Eric or Lara,” Trump joked, referring to Luke and Carolina’s parents, Eric and Lara Trump. “And her name is Carolina.”

“And she’s beautiful and she’s sweet and she doesn’t know how evil life is,” he added. “Can I ask Carolina to come up? Is that possible?”

“Make America great again,” Carolina, 5, said into the microphone.

Luke soon joined the spotlight. “Would anybody like to meet Luke, her brother? Luke, come on up,” Trump asked, before picking up his grandson and bringing him to the podium.

“Vote for grandpa,” Luke, 7, said as he was held up to the microphone by Trump.

“I whispered into his ear, so cute, I said, ‘Say MAGA,’” Trump told the audience. “He said, ‘Vote for grandpa.’”

Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara, is from North Carolina and serves as co-chair of the Republican National Committee.

The proud mother added her own photos from the special moment to social media, adding, “I LOVE YOU, WILMINGTON!!!”

As RSBN previously reported, Trump announced on Saturday that he will end all sanctuary cities if elected in November.

“I’m announcing a new plan to end all sanctuary cities in North Carolina and all across our country,” Trump said.

“As soon as I take office, we will immediately surge federal law enforcement to every city that is failing, which is a lot of them, to turn over criminal aliens,” he continued. “And we will hunt down, capture every single gang member, drug dealer, rapist, murderer, and migrant criminal that is being illegally harbored.”

Trump also noted that the Republican Party has become the party of common sense.

“The Republican Party has become a party of common sense,” he told the audience. “Where is the common sense in open borders and high taxes?”
