HICKORY, N.C. — The Trump campaign has announced the president will visit North Carolina on Sunday for a Make America Great Again Victory Rally in Hickory.
The rally will take place on November 1, just two days before Election Day, at the Hickory Regional Airport. The event is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. with doors opening at 2:30 p.m.
President Trump will be back in North Carolina on Monday for a rescheduled rally in Fayetteville that was postponed Thursday due to weather conditions caused by Zeta.
Trump and the Joe Biden campaign are working hard to woo North Carolina voters in the final days leading up to the election. Polling shows Trump and Joe Biden in a tight race for North Carolina's 15 Electoral College votes, which could help lock the election for either candidate.
A recent Survey USA/WRAL poll found Biden and Trump running neck and neck in North Carolina.
"Among voters who have already marked a ballot, Biden leads by 17 points, 57% to 40%. No matter what happens between now and Election Day, these votes are in the bank," according to Survey USA.
But the survey found that for people who plan to vote but have not yet cast a ballot, Trump leads by 13%.
"A much smaller group, which has not yet voted and is not 100% sure it will, backs Trump by 17 points, 53% to 36%. Trump will need every one of those almost-certain voters if he is to carry the state," Survey USA said.
Other polls released this week give Biden a slight lead. Nationally, Biden has a strong lead in the polls. But it will all come down to swing states and who can win the most votes in the Electoral College on November 3.
Early voting in North Carolina is open until Saturday, Oct. 31.
