Trump to head to North Carolina Monday to visit farmers ahead of 2020 convention

A White House official told Fox News on Friday that the president will visit a Farmers to Families Food Box program site for a tour.

The visit will come as the 2020 GOP Convention kicks off in Charlotte, N.C. It is unclear, at this point, what the president’s plans are with regard to involvement at the convention on Monday evening.

A Trump campaign official told Fox News they are "having calls" Friday about whether the president will attend the convention Monday evening.

A Trump campaign official told Fox News that Trump is expected to have a "heavy in-person presence" all four nights of the convention, and that "his preference is to be live," not taped.

“I think we're going to have more of it live than what they (the DNC) did," Trump told "Hannity" Thursday. "I think it's pretty boring when you do tapes. I'm going to go live and do mine live.”

The president is slated to deliver his formal acceptance speech for the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday, Aug. 27 at the White House.
