“Courage isn’t standing by yourself in a boxing ring,” she said. “Courage is whether you’re willing to stand next to people that you don’t always agree with for the betterment of this country.”

Klobuchar is the latest of the Democratic presidential candidates to visit the Carolinas in a build-up to Saturday's South Carolina primary and “Super Tuesday” next week, when 14 states, including North Carolina, hold primaries.
Ron Anderson, of Cary, said he supports Klobuchar for three reasons.
“She has a great platform – 100 days, 100 ways – excellent,” he said. “Two, she’s a woman, and she’s younger. We need both. And three, she can beat Donald Trump, and that’s very important.”
Supporters said they believe Klobuchar is the type of moderate candidate who can bring the country together.
“As splintered as we are, I like the theme of coming together,” said Laurie Cain.
Candidate visits continue through Super Tuesday
Biden will visit Raleigh on Saturday. Bloomberg will join Klobuchar in Charlotte on Saturday.
Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, returns to Raleigh on Saturday.
