The Latest: Hurricanes have jumbled campaign schedules for Harris and Trump

Back-to-back hurricanes have scrambled Democrat presidential campaign schedules Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump.

Trump and Harris went separately Georgia to assess hurricane damage and pledge support. Harris also visited North Carolina, forcing the candidates to cancel campaign events elsewhere and spend time that is a precious resource in the final weeks before any election. Both Georgia and North Carolina are political battlegrounds.

Meanwhile, a recent poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that a solid majority of Hispanic women have a positive opinion of Harris and a negative opinion of Trump. Spanish men are more divided between both candidates.

Here’s the latest:

Vice President Kamala Harris will participate in a town hall hosted by Charlamagne tha God on Tuesday, the influential radio host announced on his show on Friday.

The appearance comes as Harris’ campaign seeks to shore up support among black men for her candidacy.

The announcement comes a day after former President Barack Obama issued a strong appeal for black men to support Harris during a campaign swing in Pennsylvania.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz says, “I don’t know if any of us are doing everything right,” as he tried to put some distance between the Democratic ticket and President Joe Biden.

Speaking to ABC’s Good Morning America, Walz was asked if he and Vice President Kamala Harris would have done anything differently over the past four years.

“Look, I don’t know if any of us are doing everything right,” he replied. “But I can tell you that he did everything in the best interest of the American public.”

Harris drew fire from former President Donald Trump when she told “The View” earlier this week that she couldn’t think of a difference with Biden — before saying she would put a Republican in her Cabinet if elected.

Walz also used the interview to try to backtrack on his call at a fundraiser this week to eliminate the Electoral College. Harris’ campaign quickly stated that it did not support such a move, with Walz telling ABC, “My position is that of the campaign.”
