As North Carolina voters prepare to cast their ballots in March 5th primary elections, top candidates will be appearing across the state.

On Saturday, Trump will deliver remarks at a rally at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex. Doors will open at 11 a.m., and Trump is scheduled to speak around 2 p.m.

Trump has won contests in Iowa, New Hampshire and, on Saturday, South Carolina, Haley's home state. But Haley said the large percentage of voters who are not choosing Trump deserve a choice and vowed to remain in the race.

Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and former U.N. Ambassador, is scheduled for a rally at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at Union Station in downtown Raleigh. She is scheduled for a rally in Massachusetts on Saturday night.

North Carolina is one of 15 states that holds its primary on March 5, known as Super Tuesday.

North Carolina hasn't voted for a Democratic presidential ticket since Barack Obama and Biden in 2008. Trump carried the state in 2016 and 2020.

Biden visited Raleigh in January and included a visit with a Raleigh family over Cook Out burgers.

Harris was in Charlotte in January. She visited a school to announce funding from the bipartisan Safer Communities Act to help schools hire and train mental health counselors.

Early voting is already underway in North Carolina. The primary election date is March 5.
