After the attempted assassination of former President Trump on Saturday and the vandalism of their county party headquarters later that night, the Carteret County Democratic Party has temporarily suspended all campaign operations.

Party leaders say they need dome time to repair and secure the building, and to ensure that safety and security protocols are in place for volunteers.
