Kamala Harris, JD Vance postpone Thursday campaign stops in Raleigh ahead of Tropical Storm Debby

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Vice President Kamala Harris and her new running mate won't be making a stop in Raleigh this week after all.

Her campaign confirmed to ABC11 that the visit is being postponed because of weather concerns. Tropical Storm Debby is expected to dump heavy rain in the region Thursday and Friday.

Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are going on tour, hitting several battleground states. The Harris campaign said this is an effort to "introduce the new Democratic ticket" and "speak directly with voters in their communities and cement the contract between our ticket and Trump's."

They were scheduled to be in Raleigh on Thursday. A new date, time and location have not yet been determined.

The tour began Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Vance also postpones Raleigh visit on Thursday

The Trump campaign announced Monday that vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance would be in Raleigh on Thursday. But on Tuesday, ABC11 learned that Vance's trip was also being postponed as Tropical Storm Debby loomed.

Vance was scheduled to deliver remarks at Raleigh Union Station on Thursday morning.

In a release, the campaign said "President Donald Trump and Vice Presidential Nominee, Senator JD Vance are devastated to see North Carolinians and all Americans struggle because of Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and woke Democrat activists."

Vance was later planning a second stop in North Carolina on Thursday, in the Stanly County town of Oakboro. That event was also postponed.

The Trump-Vance campaign told ABC11 that it will be rescheduling these events in North Carolina as soon as possible.
