It's no secret that North Carolina is one of several key battleground states. That's not lost on the presidential candidates, who along with their surrogates have been constant presences in the state for months leading up to the 2024 general election.
Democrats think they can flip North Carolina for the first time since 2008. Republicans are out to deliver the state for Trump yet again.
In the updates below, you'll find the latest information on when the major party candidates plan campaign stops in the state during these final few days counting down to Nov. 5, Election Day. You'll also find other relevant updates, quick hits and links for statewide and local races.
Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Gov. Tim Walz will return to North Carolina this week amid early voting.
Harris will attend a campaign event in Raleigh on Wednesday.
The rally will be held at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek, 2801 Rock Quarry Road in Raleigh.
Doors open at 9 a.m. The rally begins at 11 a.m.
Walz will not be in Raleigh but will appear at other events across the state.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz will make a campaign sweep across North Carolina on Wednesday.
The Minnesota governor will visit Charlotte, Greensboro, and Asheville in a series of events aimed at encouraging North Carolinians to vote early for the Harris/Walz ticket.
At 1:15 p.m., Walz will participate in a political event in Charlotte.
From there he will fly to Greensboro around 2:45 p.m. where he'll participate in a series of political events.
Then it's on to Asheville where Walz is expected to arrive around 6:30 p.m.
Walz will deliver remarks at 7 p.m. at a campaign event in Asheville.
Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance will return to North Carolina on Thursday for a town hall event.
The town hall will be hosted by Turning Point PAC and Turning Point Action and held in High Point.
Turning Point says many students remain undecided voters even days before the Nov. 5 election. Turning Point said it will work to ensure the audience is "inclusive of students of a broad spectrum of cultural backgrounds and experiences as well as political affiliations."
"In 2020, Gen Z accounted for 1-in-10n voters. In 2024, it will be up to 1-in-6 - 40 million voters will be coming from Gen Z and as such they are a critically important portion of the electorate for either party to court," said Charlie Kirk, Founder and President of Turning Point PAC & Turning Point Action. "As someone who spends a great deal of time with Gen Z, I can tell you with authority, their interests, questions, and anxieties are distinct from Millennials, Xers, and Boomers. They have grown up in an America where they're expected to downsize the American Dream. To expect less. To assume they are inheriting an America in decline. They fear climate change and having children. They are the most drug addicted, depressed, prescribed, and anxious of any generation. But in the midst of that, there is a new wellspring of Americans who refuse to settle for less than their parents. They want to hear directly from Harris/Walz and Trump/Vance on what they plan to do to correct course for young people. This town hall will be raw, unvarnished, and unscripted. I can't wait to hear what JD Vance, the youngest candidate in either ticket, has to say to this North Carolina college crowd."
The event will be held at Engine Room at Congdon Yards, 410 W English Road in High Point.
Doors open at 8 a.m. and the town hall begins at 10:30 a.m.
