Harris enlists Bill Clinton for campaign bus tour through Eastern NC

Vice President Kamala Harris is ramping up her outreach to rural voters, and is enlisting former President Bill Clinton in the effort.

After Harris holds a rally in Greenville on Sunday, Clinton is expected to hit the campaign trail with a bus tour across Eastern North Carolina beginning on Thursday, Oct. 17, the first day of early voting. The tour will run through Sunday, Oct. 20. In an announcement, the Harris campaign said it was deploying Clinton to specifically target “hard-to-reach” rural voters across the region.

Instead of campaigning for her at large rallies, Clinton will focus on “local fairs and porch rallies, talking to at most a few hundred people at a time” during his campaign appearances next week, CNN reported.

Before starting the bus tour in Eastern North Carolina, Clinton will make stops in Georgia on Sunday and Monday, according to CNN.
