How Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris has already impacted the 2024 presidential election

Kamala Harris will launch an aggressive campaign against Donald Trump after the debate, covering the two crucial states that will determine the outcome of the election.

She will give even more media interviews — after facing repeated criticism for not holding a formal press conference since becoming the Democratic nominee — and will spread her deputies across the country in the coming days.

Her new “aggressive phase” includes campaign visits to North Carolina on Thursday and Pennsylvania on Friday. Her campaign will also release a series of new ads featuring key moments from the debate, in which she repeatedly got under Trump’s skin.

Trump, meanwhile, is heading west. He will campaign in Arizona on Thursday. He will hold a press conference in Los Angeles on Friday, followed by a rally that evening in Nevada.

Polls show that a majority of viewers think Harris won Tuesday night’s presidential debate. Now the question is whether she can maintain that momentum.

Harris’ team is calling on her to promote her New Way Forward Tour, which will include “launching a series of new TV and digital ads featuring key moments from the debate, increasing media engagement, and deploying surrogates and supporters to key states to share Harris’ message from the debate,” her campaign said.

Tim Walz, her running mate, will also receive more media attention as part of their strategy.

Harris will give more interviews to local state media in the coming days and is expected to participate in a discussion with journalists from the National Association of Black Journalists next week.

It’s a team effort.

Walz will campaign in Michigan on Thursday and Friday. He will be in Wisconsin on Saturday.

Doug Emhoff will campaign in Arizona and Nevada on Thursday.

Gwen Walz campaigns in Manchester, New Hampshire on Thursday and in Maine on Friday.
