Report: Obama headed to North Carolina after State of the Union

President Obama will head to Asheville, North Carolina next Wednesday, a day after his State of the Union address, a local ABC affiliate reported.

The television network said the president will likely only visit the liberal North Carolina town for part of the day, although did not have further details of his travel.

The president last visited Asheville in October, kicking off a three-day jobs tour with an event at the town's regional airport. In 2010, the president and first lady Michelle Obama took a three-day vacation in the town, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. 

It's possible Obama will use the stop to hammer home some of the policy initiatives he debuts in his annual address. Last year, Obama travelled to Cedar Rapids, Iowa  and Phoenix, Arizona for events the day after his speech. In 2011, he travelled to Manitowoc, Wisc, and in 2010, he and Vice President Joe Biden travelled to Tampa.

The White House has not yet released details regarding the president's travel schedule for the coming week.
