Trump, Clinton, Michelle Obama to campaign in NC this week

Another busy week of presidential campaign events is on tap for North Carolina this week, with both candidates scheduled to make stops in the key battleground state.

The state isn’t getting a break from the campaign, which just brought Democrat Hillary Clinton to Raleigh, Durham and Charlotte on Sunday and Republican Donald Trump to a town near Asheville on Friday.

Here’s the schedule as of midday Monday:

Monday: Republican vice-presidential candidate Mike Pence will hold a rally at 4 p.m. at Catawba College in Salisbury. He then heads to Greensboro for a 7 p.m. rally at the Coliseum Complex.

Tuesday: Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren will be in Chapel Hill Tuesday afternoon and at Meredith College in Raleigh Tuesday evening to campaign for Clinton. The time and location of the event had not been released as of Monday. Former President Bill Clinton will campaign for his wife in Rocky Mount, Goldsboro and Greenville as part of a bus tour. And former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean will campaign for Hillary Clinton in High Point and Burlington.

Wednesday: Trump will be in Kinston for a 7 p.m. rally at the Kinston Jet Center. It’s unclear if Trump plans to tour any flood damage from Hurricane Matthew while in the Eastern North Carolina city that was hit hard by flood waters from the Neuse River.

Bill Clinton will continue his bus tour Wednesday with stops in Wilmington and Fayetteville. Dean will speak at UNC-Chapel Hill and N.C. State.

Thursday: Hillary Clinton will be in Winston-Salem with first lady Michelle Obama to encourage early voting at a rally at Wake Forest University at 2 p.m.
