Biden has visited the state several times as vice president, most recently to attend the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte a few weeks ago.
Biden also visited Durham last month, when he blasted Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan on his proposals for entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security.
