Harris and Walz Bus Tour in Pennsylvania

Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are set to hold a rally in Milwaukee on Tuesday, coinciding with the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The event is planned for the Fiserv Forum, the same venue where former President Donald Trump accepted the Republican nomination last month. While discussions are ongoing, an agreement for the venue has not yet been finalized. This rally is part of a broader campaign strategy to energize supporters in key swing states as the November election approaches. The Milwaukee rally will follow a successful tour where Harris and Walz engaged with over 10,000 attendees across five swing states last week. The timing of the rally is strategic, likely occurring before Barack Obama’s primetime speech at the convention. Harris is also scheduled to appear with President Joe Biden in Maryland on Thursday, marking their first joint event since Biden's withdrawal from the race. Additionally, she will address economic issues in North Carolina on Friday. As the campaign intensifies, Walz will embark on a bus tour through Pennsylvania, a critical battleground state, just days before the convention. This tour will be the first time Harris, Walz, and their spouses appear together since a rally in Philadelphia. The campaign has established a strong presence in Pennsylvania, with 36 offices and 300 staffers, and has garnered significant volunteer support. With the Democratic convention set to run from August 19 to 22, the Harris-Walz ticket aims to solidify its position in the electoral landscape, particularly in states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, which are crucial for a successful campaign against Trump.
