On Sunday afternoon, former President Bill Clinton spoke alongside city and state leaders in downtown Raleigh as part of a tour of North Carolina to promote early voting.
The block party was the last stop of a long weekend for former President Clinton, who appeared alongside Tim Walz in Durham on Friday and spent much of the weekend stumping in Eastern North Carolina.
“I’m just telling you, stay with this. Do not quit. Do not quit,” Clinton said Sunday. “And know, that it could be here. Not just in this state, in this town, in this crowd that determines the next Presidency.”
Hundreds of Harris-Walz supporters appeared at the event, which included remarks from Raleigh Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin, Wake County Commissioner and Board Chair Shinica Thomas, City Councilor Cory Branch, and state leaders and lawmakers.
Daniel and Toni Patterson have already cast their ballots, but still made the drive from Durham for the event.
“Any time we can reach one, touch one, and let them know what the truth is, you know, I think that’s motivating enough right there,” Daniel said.
