First lady will speak at financial event on Tuesday
CHARLOTTE (QUEEN CITY NEWS) – First Lady Dr. Jill Biden is expected to visit the Queen City on Tuesday night for a presidential campaign finance event.
Details about the event, other than that it will take place Tuesday night somewhere in Charlotte, have not yet been released.
The visit comes ahead of Thursday’s highly anticipated debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Biden and his wife will be in Raleigh on Friday for a campaign event the day after the debate, which will take place in Atlanta. Queen City News will broadcast the debate Thursday night at 9 p.m.
The First Lady is making her second appearance in Charlotte so far this year. Vice President Kamala Harris was also in Charlotte twice this year, once for a medical debt event and once for a small business event.
The visit comes as the gap between Biden and Trump in campaign finances has narrowed significantly in recent months, in part due to a near-record donation following his conviction in New York for a single donor.
