Trump schedules North Carolina appearance this week

RALEIGH, NC (AP) — Donald Trump is planning to visit North Carolina for a rally later this week.

Trump’s website says the Republican presidential candidate is scheduled to appear Friday night at Dorton Arena on the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh.

Trump spoke at the state Republican Party convention in June, just days before he announced he would be running for president.

Trump’s website directed people wanting to see him to register for the scheduled 7:30 p.m. event, which is free.

The North Carolina presidential primaries are March 15.
