North Carolina has become a top target for Harris, Trump campaigns
In the month since President Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have made a combined four campaign stops to North Carolina.
Both candidates have focused their visits on the seven battleground states that are crucial for the path to the White House: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Of those seven states, North Carolina was the only one Trump won in 2020 — and he did so by a narrow margin of 1.3 percent.
Since Biden’s withdrawal on July 21, Trump has stumped in Charlotte on July 24, Asheville on Aug. 14, and Asheboro on Aug. 21.
