His visit comes just days after his running mate, Senator JD Vance, campaigned in the area.
“North Carolina is one of our most important states, and I’ve got to say, North Carolina is becoming like a second home to me,” Vance said on Monday.
“But North Carolina is like a second home to me, and it is going to be the state that turns this country red.”
Second gentleman Doug Emhoff will also travel to North Carolina on Wednesday.
The state has become neck and neck in recent election cycles.
According to WCNC:
Scott Huffmon, a political science professor at Winthrop University, said voters should get used to seeing candidates in North Carolina right up until Election Day.
“North Carolina is absolutely going to be a critical state for the 2024 presidential election,” he said.
North Carolina, which used to lean Republican is now more purple. Even still, Democrats running for president have only won North Carolina once since 1980, when Barack Obama carried the state in 2008. Huffmon says rapidly changing demographics have put North Carolina in play compared to past elections.
