Bill Clinton to campaign for Harris-Walz in Fayetteville, Raleigh this weekend
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Former president Bill Clinton is set to campaign for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz as well as other Democrats on the ticket in North Carolina through the weekend as early voting begins in the state.
"President Clinton's stops will be part of a statewide effort to highlight early voting in the state, which runs from Oct. 17 to Nov. 2," the Harris-Walz campaign said.
Clinton will begin his tour through the crucial swing state Thursday afternoon at a rally with Walz in Durham . The Democratic vice presidential nominee will then head to the Triad for a rally in Winston Salem, while the former president will head in the opposite direction to the southeastern part of the state.

According to the Harris-Walz campaign, the Early Vote bus tour will begin Friday with a stop in Wilmington, where Clinton will speak at an event with local leaders. It will then head to Fayetteville for a "veterans and military families canvass launch" with Clinton and local leaders.
Saturday's events will kick off with an early vote block party in Fayetteville. Clinton and the bus tour will then go to Wilson for an event with Wilson County Democrats. They'll end the day in Greenville for a canvass launch with Pitt County Democrats.
On Sunday, the tour will stop in Rocky Mount, where Clinton will join faith leaders for a Get Out The Vote event and Nash County Democrats for a canvass launch, according to the campaign.

The three-day bus tour will end later that day in Raleigh, where Clinton will join the North Carolina Democratic Party and Team Harris-Walz for a block party to promote early voting.
As Election Day draws closer, Clinton and fellow former Democratic president Barack Obama have hit the campaign trail for the Harris-Walz ticket in battleground states. Clinton stumped in Georgia—where early voting started Tuesday—earlier this week, while Obama spoke in Pennsylvania last week.
