WASHINGTON, June 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden travels to North Carolina on Friday to tout his economic agenda and pledge support to military families, spending time in a political swing state while Republican presidential candidates woo voters there, too.
Biden's trip comes as Republican presidential candidates are converging on North Carolina for the state's Republican convention.
The White House has said previously it would not comment on actions taken by the Justice Department.
North Carolina is an important political swing state that Trump won, though only with a slim margin in 2020, while still losing the presidency to Biden, who won with 306 electoral votes to Trump's 232.
During his trip, Biden will announce a series of executive actions to "increase the economic security of military and veteran spouses, caregivers, and survivors," the White House said.
