Donald Trump is all-in in North Carolina.

With just days until Tuesday’s election, the former president has visits planned for the state on Saturday, Sunday and Monday — including an event at Raleigh's Dorton Arena.

Trump's North Carolina schedule:

Catawba College political scientist Michael Bitzer said North Carolinians will see a flurry of activity this weekend from both campaigns.

"They are recognizing how much one to two percentage points could potentially have huge consequences in the electoral outcomes in this state," Bitzer said. So "they're checking the couch cushions, they're checking the floor mats in the cars. They're literally trying to find anybody and everybody who has not voted yet."

Trump and Harris have visited North Carolina frequently in recent weeks. Trump was in Rocky Mount on Wednesday. Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance is scheduled to hold an event in Selma on Friday.

Harris, who visited Raleigh on Wednesday, plans to hold an event in Charlotte on Saturday.
