With polls showing a race too close to call, the two candidates are picking up the pace of campaigning with a little more than two weeks to go until the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 5
Democratic candidate Kamala Harris , left, planned to campaign in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania with former Republican lawmaker Liz Cheney , while Republican candidate Donald Trump will visit North Carolina on Monday.Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will visit North Carolina on Monday amid concerns from his Republican allies that crippling damage from storm Helene will depress turnout in the battleground state’s conservative mountain regions.
Trump on Monday is scheduled to make a midday stop in Asheville, North Carolina, a city that suffered severe damage from the storm Helene last month that flooded rivers and washed out roads, homes and bridges across a wide section of the state. North Carolina is one of seven competitive swing states that both Harris and Trump have a shot at winning, and their campaigns are fighting hard for every vote. Polls show the two candidates running about even in North Carolina.
But some Republicans are worried even a slight downturn in Republican turnout in the area could result in Harris winning the state and could be pivotal in a close election.
