DURHAM, N.C. (WNCN) – Less than a week after Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris paid a visit to North Carolina , her running mate is set to do the same.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will be traveling to the Tar Heel State for the start of early voting on Thursday, according to the Harris Walz campaign.
