Trump's grandchildren steal the show at North Carolina rally: 'Vote for grandpa'

Former President Trump had a heartwarming moment with his grandchildren at a Saturday rally in battleground North Carolina.

The Republican nominee brought his grandchildren, Luke and Carolina, onto the stage while speaking to rallygoers in Wilmington. Luke and Carolina Trump are the young children of Eric and Lara Trump.

"We also have…a very important member of my family. Far more important than Eric or Lara," Trump joked to the audience. "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?"

Moments later, Trump reappeared at the podium holding his 5-year-old granddaughter and took her to the microphone.

"Make American great again," Carolina said, confusing "America" and "American."

The crowd cheered wildly before Trump introduced Luke and invited him on stage.

"Would anybody like to meet Luke? Her brother? Luke, come on up," the Republican said, before picking up his grandson and bringing him to the podium.

Luke, who is 7 years old, told the cheering crowd to "Vote for grandpa," and received loud cheers in response. Trump told the audience that he actually asked Luke to say something else.

"I whispered into his ear, so cute, I said, ‘Say MAGA,’" the presidential candidate said. "He said, ‘Vote for grandpa.’"

"He didn't care what I said and that was actually much better."

Trump added that his daughter-in-law Lara grew up in North Carolina before continuing the rest of his speech against his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. Earlier in the rally, Trump stressed the importance of getting the vote out in the Tar Heel State.

"Exactly 45 days from now, we're going to win North Carolina," Trump predicted. "We're going to defeat Kamala Harris, and we're going to make America great again."

Steelers defensive players were 'laughing' at Broncos' gameplan with rookie Bo Nix, podcast host says

Last weekend's Steelers-Broncos game wasn't much of a barnburner.

Pittsburgh squeaked out a 13-6 win over Denver, who has rookie Bo Nix at quarterback after selecting him with the 12th pick.

Nix beat out Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson for the starting job - not exactly the toughest of battles. However, the Steelers may just be thinking that Nix could be the lesser of all evils.

Podcast host James Palmer said on former receiver Steve Smith Sr.'s podcast that Steelers defensive players knew exactly what was coming from the opposition.

"I was just in the Steelers locker room going against a rookie in Bo Nix in his second NFL start. [After the game], I’m talking to the Steelers corners, and they’re sitting there laughing in the corner going, ‘We knew the playbook was this big [gestures small fingers]," Palmer said.

"‘We know they weren’t going to take any shots, and we know what he likes to do. They’re going to make it easy on him to go here and here, and that’s all we had to worry about.'"

NICK SABAN BLAMES PANTHERS FOR BRYCE YOUNG'S STRUGGLES: 'DID NOT' HAVE TALENT AROUND HIM

Nix completed 20 of his 36 passes for 246 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions. In Week 1 in Seattle, he went 26-for-42 for 138 yards, no scores, and another pair of picks.

Nix was the sixth and final quarterback taken in the first round this past April, behind Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Michael Penix, and J.J. McCarthy.

The 24-year-old suited up for Auburn and Oregon over five years in college. He finished in third in last season's Heisman voting after completing 77.4% of his passes for 4,508 yards, 45 touchdowns, and just three picks. All of those numbers were career-bests (his previous career-high in touchdowns was 29). 

His yards and touchdowns were also the most in the FBS last year. However, it seems to be a struggle so far in the big leagues.

Nix is under center after Denver cut ties with Russell Wilson after two seasons. Week 2 was set to be Wilson's first game against his former team, but he suffered a calf injury prior to Week 1, and Justin Fields has been starting in his absence.
