Harris and Walz to campaign across battleground states this week

With the election just about a week away, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, plan to visit all seven battleground states to rally supporters

WASHINGTON — WASHINGTON (AP) — Kamala Harris And Tim Walz will crisscross the country in the coming days to visit all seven battleground states as part of a final blitz before the end of the presidential campaign.

The Democratic presidential candidate will spend Sunday in Philadelphia, where he will attend church services in the morning and visit a barbershop. Harris also plans to stop at a Puerto Rican restaurant and a youth basketball facility.

Election day is November 5.

On Monday, Walz, the governor of Minnesota and Harris’ running mate, will campaign in Manitowoc and Waukesha, Wisconsin, before heading to Ann Arbor, Michigan for a joint rally with Harris. Singer Maggie Rogers will perform.

Harris will be in Washington on Tuesday to deliver what her campaign is calling for her “closing argument” in a speech from the Ellipse, a grassy space adjacent to the National Mall. It’s the same place where the Republican former president Donald Trump spoke on January 6, 2021, when he called on his supporters to march to the US Capitol.

Meanwhile, Walz will campaign in Savannah and Columbus, Georgia.

Harris will visit North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin on Wednesday. The Wisconsin event will be held in Madison and is expected to feature musical performances by Mumford & Sons and others.

Walz will campaign in Charlotte and Asheville, North Carolina, that day.

On Thursday, Harris heads west for rallies in Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada, and Phoenix, Arizona. The band Maná will perform in Las Vegas and Los Tigres del Norte will perform in Phoenix.

Walz plans to campaign in Harrisburg and Erie, Pennsylvania, and Detroit, Michigan.
