Vice presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) is holding a rally in North Carolina on Wednesday night, the day before early voting begins in the Tar Heel State.
Vance is expected to encourage voters in key battleground states to vote by mail and vote early. According to the campaign. The move comes after Hurricane Helen pummeled the southeastern United States late last month, threatening to disrupt voting in the state.
