Kamala Harris to rally in Charlotte this week

CHARLOTTE — Vice President Kamala Harris will be returning to Charlotte this week for a campaign rally, her campaign announced on Monday.

Harris is making stops in Charlotte and Greensboro on Thursday. A rally in Charlotte is tentatively set for around 4 p.m.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said Wednesday that Harris’ rally is at the Bojangles Coliseum in east Charlotte. Drivers should expect intermittent road closures at various times in the area starting at 2 p.m., including Interstate 77 and East Independence Boulevard between Interstate 277 and Eastway Drive.

CMPD also expects traffic delays around the airport between 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.

The rally comes a week after former President Donald Trump visited Charlotte to speak at a Fraternal Order of Police event.

After the rally in Charlotte, Harris will head up to Greensboro for another campaign event.

The vice president has made a few trips to North Carolina in recent weeks as polling from the New York Times shows the upcoming presidential race is nearly tied in North Carolina.
