To understand how important North Carolina has become in this election for both sides, just take a look at their schedules for Monday, the final day before Tuesday's national election day.
Vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine will appear in Charlotte and Wilmington on Monday, with his wife Anne Holton joining him in Charlotte. Bill Clinton has an event scheduled Monday in Greensboro.
And for the campaign's grand finale, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton will appear together in Raleigh for a Monday night/Tuesday morning midnight event before voters take to the polls later Tuesday morning.
Heading into Monday, Trump had a narrow 1.2-point lead over Clinton in a two-way race, according to the RealClearPolitics average of major state polls.
Nate Silver, the election data scientist who runs the popular FiveThirtyEight forecasting website, though, gave Clinton the slightest of edges to win the state in his forecast Monday morning.
