How to see Amy Klobuchar in Raleigh at her first campaign stop in NC
Read the latest story updated Feb. 25 about Amy Klobuchar events and North Carolina staffing.
With days until Super Tuesday, which includes North Carolina’s primary, Democratic presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar will make her first campaign stop in the state next week.
Fox News Channel announced Wednesday it will hold a town hall with Klobuchar on Feb. 27 in Raleigh.
The Fox town hall will be moderated by the cable news channel’s chief political anchor Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum and held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Cypress Manor in Raleigh.
Baier’s “Special Report” show will air at 6 p.m. and MacCallum’s “The Story” show will air at 7:30 p.m., both shortened as the town hall will air between their shows. Baier previously worked at WRAL-TV in Raleigh.
To attend, register via EventBrite. Doors will open at 4:30 p.m. Those who attend must be at least 18 and bring government-issued ID. Cypress Manor is an event space at 1040 Buck Jones Road.
Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg will be in the state the same day as Klobuchar, Feb. 27, for a town hall in Charlotte.
Klobuchar, a Minnesota senator, has done well enough in the polls to make the Democratic debate stage, but trailed better-known candidates. In recent weeks her support nationally has increased, though she still falls behind new frontrunner Sen. Bernie Sanders as well as former Vice President Joe Biden and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg.
Bloomberg, Sanders and Biden have all been to North Carolina multiple times and have drawn endorsements from local politicians. Buttigieg and Sen. Elizabeth Warren have been to the state, too.
