WATCH: Trump Comforts, Hugs North Carolina Rally Attendee After Supporter Passes Out From Heat

During a rally on Wednesday in Asheboro, North Carolina, at the North Carolina Aviation Museum & Hall of Fame, President Donald Trump took time to comfort a supporter who had passed out from the heat after waiting for hours on the 73-degree day. From that stage, Trump called for a doctor to treat the person who had fallen victim to the heat.

"A doctor, please," Trump said when supporters called for a medic. "It's very hot here, I noticed. It is very hot. A lot of the people waited for days to get here, so I understand it. Take your time, doctor. Thank you." The 45th president then gave a round of applause to the medical personnel tending to the supporter, stopped his speech, and proceeded to head down into the crowd to comfort and hug the rallygoer after she recovered. 

The small moment is yet another instance of Trump showing a side of himself often ignored by the mainstream media, a fact the Trump campaign pointed out. "WHOLESOME: President Trump leaves the podium to hug a member of the crowd in North Carolina who had a medical emergency," Trump War Room posted on X. "This is the President Trump the media will never show you."

After briefly checking on the woman, Trump returned to the podium to continue his speech on foreign policy. The rally is the first outside event that Trump has done since the attempt on his life on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania. The Secret Service placed bulletproof glass around the podium to ensure President Trump's safety. The 45th president's decision to go comfort one of his supporters despite the risk of exiting the bulletproof glass protection speaks to his genuine concern for those supporting him irrespective of the personal risks.

The Asheboro rally is the latest Trump-Vance campaign event in recent weeks as North Carolina becomes an increasingly competitive battleground for the 2024 race. According to the FiveThirtyEight polling average, Vice President Harris is practically tied with President Trump to win the state's 16 electoral votes at 45.6 percent for Trump compared to 45.5 percent for Harris. Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. still has 3.8 percent support in the state.

President Trump's remarks in Asheboro and his compassion for the North Carolina voter could be the first step in changing the narrative of the presidential race by showing a more empathetic side of the former president.
