The rally, which was held at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, was a notable event for the city.
Donald Trump's campaign was also forced to pay over $82,000 upfront for the Asheville rally due to its "last-minute" nature.
The venue, which seats 2,341 people, is significantly smaller than the ExploreAsheville.com Arena where Trump spoke in 2016.
Despite the reduced capacity, the rally drew significant attention as the 78-year-old politician continues his campaign for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
Donald Trump's election history in North Carolina
Earlier this year, Donald Trump secured a decisive victory in North Carolina's primary, winning 74% of the vote against his challenger Nikki Haley who garnered 23%.
While North Carolina is not considered a swing state in the 2024 election due to its strong support for Trump in the the last two presidential elections, some observers believe the state could still play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the race.
The GOP presidential nominee won North Carolina in both 2016 and 2020, defeating Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden respectively, though he lost the national contest in 2020.
Despite Trump's past successes, he faces a challenging race against Vice President Kamala Harris in the state in the upcoming November election.
According to a recent survey by the Cook Political Report, Harris has gained a narrow lead over Trump in North Carolina, signaling a potentially competitive contest as the 2024 election approaches, reported USA Today.
