Former President Donald Trump has scheduled a town hall at the Crown Complex in Fayetteville on Friday, his campaign website says.

β€œThe Town Hall will bring together voters from across North Carolina and give them the power to ask questions,” the announcement says.

The event starts at 7 p.m. Friday, with doors opening at 4 p.m., the announcement says. The town hall will be hosted at the complex’s arena. Click here to register for general admission tickets.

The Trump and Harris campaigns have made stops around North Carolina amid tight polling between the two. North Carolina has 16 Electoral College votes. A candidate needs 270 Electoral College votes to win the presidency.

Harris campaigned in Fayetteville on July 18 for the Biden-Harris ticket, just three days before President Joe Biden dropped out of the race on July 21.

Trump had campaign stops in Fayetteville in 2016 and 2020. His last public appearance here was in January 2023, when he attended a memorial service for social media influencer Lynette Hardaway of the Diamond and Silk social media duo. Diamond and Silk are from the Fayetteville region.
