First lady stumps in key battleground state while Biden remains absent from the campaign trail

First lady Jill Biden will stump for Vice President Kamala Harris in a key battleground state on the last day before the general election, while President Biden, the former Democratic nominee, is absent from the campaign trail.

The first lady will spend election eve campaigning for Harris in North Carolina – a state of 16 key electoral votes that former President Donald Trump won in both 2016 and 2020.

Neither Harris nor her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, have events scheduled in North Carolina on Monday.
