Campaigning for his wife, a U.S. senator from New York, Bill Clinton will visit Gastonia and Asheville in addition to previously announced stops in Greensboro, High Point, Kannapolis, Salisbury and Hickory, the campaign said in a news release.

The visit comes one week after he stumped for his wife in Charlotte and Cary.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is scheduled to campaign in Raleigh, Fayetteville and Winston-Salem on Thursday.

The timing and other details of the seven stops have not been announced.

Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama have increased their appearances in the state in preparation for a May 6 primary in which 115 electoral votes are at stake.
