<p>In less than an hour, the doors will open at Dorton Arena in Raleigh. And that's where former president Donald Trump will speak one day. Now, before election day, at the same time, several people with the Harris campaign will be making stops across our state NBC. News released its final news poll ahead of election day and it shows Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump in a dead heat, both with 49%. Wr Os Kelsey Coff joins us live from Dorton Arena in Raleigh right now. Kelsey Trump's in North Carolina now for a third day in a row here. Yes, Jeff. So we're expecting to see a large crowd come here within the next hour as doors will open at six. And we have a crew that's already inside here of the arena and they say that they see people already in the parking lot. So we'll take you to some video so you can see that President Trump was just in North Carolina yesterday, as well as his running mate, Senator JD Vance and Trump is scheduled to speak at Dorton Arena in Raleigh this morning at 10 o'clock. And while he's speaking there this morning, first lady Jill Biden will be on her way to North Carolina. You can see her here campaigning in Cumberland County just two weeks ago. She's expected to land at RDU this afternoon after making a stop in Winston Salem. She's scheduled to speak in Carrboro at two and in Durham at 230. So we'll have crews covering all of the rallies that are scheduled for later today and you can stay up to date both on air and online at wrl.com Kelsey CWRL News live in Raleigh.</p>
