Vice President Kamala Harris will visit North Carolina on Friday, just days before the state’s primary election.
Harris will be in Durham to discuss economic opportunity, small business and building a strong economy. It will be her 10th visit to the state since becoming vice president in 2021.
President Joe Biden recently made a visit to the Triangle as well. The Biden-Harris campaign has made North Carolina a target in the general election.
Harris is scheduled to be joined by Gov. Roy Cooper and Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo.
Biden visited Raleigh in January and included a visit with a Raleigh family over Cook Out burgers.
North Carolina hasn’t voted for a Democratic presidential ticket since Barack Obama and Biden in 2008.
Republican front-runner Donald Trump carried the state in 2016 and 2020.
Harris was in Charlotte in January. She visited a school to announce funding from the bipartisan Safer Communities Act to help schools hire and train mental health counselors.
Early voting is already underway in North Carolina. The primary election date is March 5.
This is a developing story.
