Both Harris and GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance were scheduled to visit the state last Thursday but those visits were postponed due to Tropical Storm Debby.

It's not clear if Harris will be joined by her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, in Raleigh on Friday.

The planned visits to North Carolina come as polls have tightened between Donald Trump and Harris. Harris became the presumptive nominee after President Joe Biden announced on July 21 that he wouldn't run for reelection.

Harris has since agreed to debate Trump on Sept. 10.

Friday's visit to Raleigh will be Harris' eighth visit to North Carolina in 2024.
