The campaign event begins at 5:45 p.m. and you can join from anywhere.

The tour is the Democratic ticket's answer to coronavirus restrictions on widespread travel and large, packed events. It begins on Friday, National Black Voter Day, with the North Carolina "stop."

Through Oct. 1, Harris and her running mate, presidential candidate Joe Biden, are making virtual "stops" in battleground states to interact with voters and push voter registration.

Thousands of President Donald Trump's supporters showed up for a Tuesday night rally in Winston-Salem. Now, area health officials worry that the event could become a superspreader of the coronavirus across North Carolina.
