Former president Donald Trump to hold rally in Rocky Mount

ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. (WTVD) -- Republican nominee for president Donald Trump will be holding a campaign rally in Rocky Mount.

The visit will happen Wednesday at 1 p.m. That's less than a week before from Election Day in a race that is projected to be a tight one.

Doors open at Rocky Mount Event Center at 9 a.m. Trump is scheduled to speak at 1 p.m.

Trump will be visiting the state the same day as the Democratic nominee for president Kamala Harris makes a stop in Raleigh for a rally.

North Carolina is considered to be a battleground state that could tip the election for either party.

Both Democrats and Republicans have been making multiple stops around the state.
