This week marks the beginning of the 2024 campaign season, with both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris visiting the Carolinas. Vice President Harris is scheduled to be in Charlotte on Thursday, coinciding with President Biden’s campaign speech in Charleston.
In Charlotte, Vice President Harris will focus on the Biden Administration’s initiatives to curb gun violence. She will be meeting with educators, counselors, parents, gun safety advocates, and local and state officials. U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona is also set to attend.
During her visit, Harris will announce funding from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, aimed at enhancing mental health resources in schools.
Vice President Harris has made nine visits to North Carolina during her tenure, including a trip to Greensboro last September and a visit to Charlotte in June to commemorate the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision being overturned.
