Watch Live Stream: Hillary Clinton Rally With Bernie Sanders, Pharrell Williams In Raleigh, North Carolina
The Democratic nominee will appear alongside her former primary rival in the crucial swing state.
Hillary Clinton will finish her day of barnstorming in the Tar Heel State with a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, alongside her former primary opponent Bernie Sanders and pop star Pharrell Williams.
The rally, scheduled for 7:45 p.m. Eastern time at the Walnut Creek Music Pavillon, is the latest in a series of appearances by people from both parties in the crucial election day state that is razor thin in current polls.
Donald Trump has two appearances there scheduled for Thursday, and President Obama made an impassioned plea to North Carolinians on Wednesday. Clinton was also scheduled to speak earlier in the day in Greenville, North Carolina.

You can watch a live stream of Donald Trump's two North Carolina events here.
North Carolina and its 15 electoral votes have become an intense focus for both campaigns during this home stretch.
It's not hard to see why. The Tar Heel State is considered a "toss up" in nearly every electoral projection map, and the candidates are virtually tied in Real Clear Politics' average of major state polls.
Campaigning for Hillary Clinton on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Wednesday, President Obama told the crowd, "The fate of the republic rests on your shoulders."
"I want to speak not just to Democrats. I want to speak to Republicans here in North Carolina as well. I am obviously a partisan Democrat. I understand that," Obama said. "But we're not Democrats or Republicans first, we're Americans first, and there's a standard of behavior that we ought to expect of our leaders."
