Previous visits by the Biden administration to North Carolina
Monday's visit will mark the second time in as many months Biden has visited North Carolina. In March, she visited Research Triangle Park to discuss Biden administration's effort to prioritize research and funding for women's health.
Last month, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris visited Raleigh to promote their positions on health care and reproductive rights in a rare joint visit.
North Carolina is expected to again be a key swing state in the 2024 presidential election.
The Biden campaign is expected to focus heavily on North Carolina in the coming months, as is the campaign of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Democrats are also hoping to keep control of the governor's mansion and break the GOP's veto-proof supermajority in the state legislature, while Republicans are hoping to flip important, Democrat-held offices such as governor and attorney general.
