GREENSBORO, N.C. — The campaign trail continues with a big stop planned for Greensboro Thursday evening.
Senator JD Vance is holding a town hall at the Koury Convention Center. He's expected to talk about the economy, immigration, and Helene's impacts on the state.
Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick is also on the agenda to speak.
Hundreds of people attended.
Many supporters traveled hours away to get to the event in Greensboro, others live right here in the Triad. We spoke with one couple from Winston-Salem who told News 2 they couldn't miss this town hall. This is their first time seeing a presidential candidate in person. We asked them what is their most important issue.
"For me I think closing the border, got to close it," said Sherylann Wesner.
"The economy for me, we are retired. We are on a fixed income as retirees. As prices keep going up it gets tougher and tougher for everyday people," said Steve Wesner.
Two of the supporters who attended are App State students. Joseph Welborn and Benjamin Dulin are currently juniors still feeling the effects Helene caused in the western part of the state. One of the students safely evacuated the day after Helene hit.
"I want to hear some consideration for the people up there, empathy as well, as well as what the federal government would do in case of this happening again and how he would respond if he was in the position the current administration is in," Joseph Welborn said.
As for Donald Trump, the former president just visited Pennsylvania and will head to Colorado on Friday.
On the other side of the aisle, Vice President Kamala Harris will campaign in Greenville, NC on Sunday. Former President Barack Obama is also going on the campaign trail for Harris in Pittsburgh today. His appearance will be the first in a series across battleground states that Obama plans to make in the final days before the election.
