The vice president will hold a campaign rally in the swing state on Sunday amid Donald Trump narrowly polling ahead of her there.
Polling shows Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, and former President Donald Trump, the GOP nominee, are neck-and-neck in the key swing state of North Carolina as Harris prepares to hold a campaign rally in the state on Sunday.
As Harris prepares to visit the Tarheel State, FiveThirtyEight’s poll tracker shows that as of Saturday afternoon Trump is narrowly ahead of Harris by just 0.9 points, with 48.2 percent support compared to her 47.3 percent.
Harris will spend Saturday meeting with local Black elected, faith and community leaders at a restaurant in Raleigh, one of the state’s largest cities. According to her campaign, she is also slated on Sunday to attend church in Greenville, a key part of a «Souls to the Polls» initiative designed to energize voter turnout before holding a campaign rally.
The visit is part of a broader strategy to win over the state’s diverse voter base, which includes Black and college-educated voters, as well as women who are concerned about the rollback of abortion protections.
In addition, Harris’ weekend rally will focus on the economy, a central issue in this year’s election, as well as the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which has become a political flashpoint with Trump and his allies condemning the Biden administration’s response to the natural disaster.
