First Lady touts Obama campaign in NC on final day

CHARLOTTE, NC (AP) — North Carolina gets a visit from First Lady Michelle Obama on her last day on the campaign trail.

Mrs. Obama is scheduled to visit Charlotte with singer Mariah Carey and NBA Players Association president Derek Fisher to stir up supporters.

It’s Michelle Obama’s first visit to Charlotte since the Democratic National Convention was held in North Carolina’s largest city in early September.

President Barack Obama hasn’t returned to the state since the convention and a visit isn’t part of his final campaign schedule.
