Trump to hold campaign rally in North Carolina as Biden preps for final debate in Delaware
Here's what you need to know about the presidential campaigns
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}With the November election less than two weeks away, President Trump is continuing his campaign swing through the pivotal battleground states with a planned rally in North Carolina, where he's currently neck-and-neck with Democratic rival Joe Biden.
Trump's rally in Gastonia, N.C., comes just one day before the candidates will face off for the second and final presidential debate on Thursday night, which will be moderated by Kristen Welker of NBC News.
Like the first debate, each candidate will be allotted two minutes of speaking time to answer the moderator's questions; but under a new plan announced Monday by the Commission on Presidential Debates, during that portion of the debate, the opposing candidate's microphone will be muted.

Trump is slated to travel to North Carolina for a rally in Gastonia, located about 30 minutes outside of Charlotte.
North Carolina, which Trump narrowly carried in 2016 against Hillary Clinton, is crucial to winning the White House.
