MORRISVILLE, N.C. - President Donald Trump is coming to North Carolina to visit a biotech facility involved in work to create a COVID-19 vaccine.
Trump’s trip on Monday to Morrisville is his first public event in the state since the eve of the March 3 presidential primary.
Trump won North Carolina’s electoral votes in 2016 by nearly 4 percentage points.
The state is also considered a presidential battleground this fall.
The FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies’ Innovation Center that he’ll tour is manufacturing key components of a vaccine candidate developed by another company.
