Just days ahead of Super Tuesday, former President Donald Trump, Nikki Haley and Vice President Kamala Harris will make campaign stops in North Carolina this weekend. 


What You Need To Know

  • Kamala Harris will visit Durham on Friday
  • Nikki Haley will visit Charlotte on Friday evening and Raleigh on Saturday
  • Donald Trump will visit Greensboro on Saturday
  • North Carolina’s primary elections are Tuesday, March 5

Along with many other states, North Carolina’s primary election will be held next Tuesday, March 5. 

On Friday, Haley is headed to Charlotte, and Harris will stop in Durham, the vice president’s 10th trip to North Carolina since 2021. 

Harris was in North Carolina just last month for an event in Charlotte where she discussed reproductive rights, gun violence and announced a $12 million investment into mental health services for North Carolina students. 

As part of the administration’s Investing in America tour, Harris will visit Durham on Friday to discuss supporting small businesses and enhancing economic opportunity across the state and country. 

President Joe Biden will be the only Democratic candidate on the North Carolina primary ballot next Tuesday. 

Former South Carolina governor Haley is coming off a loss in her home state. Trump received almost 60% of the vote in South Carolina’s Republican primary last Saturday, strengthening his bid for the Republican nomination. 

Haley’s first stop will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 1 at Norfolk Hall in Charlotte.

The following day, Haley will travel to the Clouds Brewing Tap Room in Raleigh for a 12:30 p.m rally. 

She’ll be competing with Trump for the attention of North Carolina Republicans. Trump will hold a Get Out the Vote Rally in Greensboro.

Trump’s rally will be held at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex at 2 p.m.

In 2020, Trump won the North Carolina General Election by 1.4%, beating Biden with less than 100,000 votes. 

The state has 74 Republican delegates which will be divided proportionally among any candidate that receives more than 20% of the vote. 

Early voting for the North Carolina primary will end Saturday at 3 p.m.
