Tim Walz to hold campaign event in North Carolina on Thursday

The Harris-Walz campaign announced Sunday that Democratic vice presidential nominee, Gov. Tim Walz, will be traveling to North Carolina for the start of early voting.

Walz will hold a campaign event in Durham on Thursday, October 17 — the first day North Carolinians can cast an in-person ballot in the fall election. Those not yet registered to vote can also register and cast their ballot on the same day during early voting, which runs through Saturday November 2.

This will be Walz’s second trip to the Trangle as the Number 2 person on the Democratic ticket. The Minnesota governor visited Raleigh shortly after accepting the nomination for vice president in August, at which time he spoke to volunteers in a campaign office, got a milk shake with Gov. Roy Cooper, and attended a private fundraiser. It’s also part of a steady parade of visits from both major thickets that figures to continue for the next three-plus weeks.

Walz’s visit this week will come just four days after Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris will have visited the state. Harris flew into Raleigh Saturday evening, where she helped pack aid boxes for people impacted by recent hurricanes at a downtown restaurant. She’ll hold a rally in Greenville this afternoon.
