In Raleigh on Sunday, Bill Clinton boosts Harris and issues warning about Trump

As the big, bright blue Harris-Waltz bus carrying former President Bill Clinton pulled into a parking lot near downtown Raleigh, the DJ played Isaac Hayes’ and David Porter’s “Soul Man” to mark Clinton’s arrival.

A crowd of hundreds, many wearing Harris-Waltz shirts, cheered and raised their phones up high, excited to video the 42nd president take the stage in a parking lot next to Smith Temple Baptist Church on South East Street. Clinton, who later walked out wearing jeans, a plaid button-down shirt and a blue blazer, said he’s studied many presidential elections.

‘I think you got to win Wake County big, and get the registered Democrats in Mecklenburg voting at higher rates than they normally do and win the east,” Clinton said, in his signature raspy voice.

Clinton, 78, is one of many high-profile officials visiting North Carolina, one of seven swing states, in the walk-up to the Nov. 5 presidential election.
