Trump is holding a rally on Monday in Greenville, North Carolina, in the eastern part of the Tar Heel state. He will also meet with faith leaders near Charlotte and view damage from Hurricane Helene in the Asheville area.

Harris joins former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., on Monday for a three-state swing with stops in key suburban districts in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.

The Republican and Democratic candidates will lay out their plans on the economy, the southern border and other important issues facing the country as they woo voters in these key states that could be decisive in November.
