Harris to campaign in Pennsylvania, Arizona and Nevada this week
Vice President Harris is set to campaign in three key battleground states this week, a campaign official said, underscoring her team’s confidence that she has multiple paths to reaching 270 electoral votes in November.
Harris will campaign in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, where she is expected to focus on her economic vision for the country if she is elected.
The vice president will head out west later in the week, campaigning in Arizona on Friday and Nevada on Sunday, the campaign official said. Harris is expected to attend fundraisers on the west coast during the trip as well.
Harris’s travels reflect how she has managed to expand the map since replacing President Biden atop the ticket. She traveled last week to the blue wall states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, as well as to Georgia. Harris was in North Carolina the week before following her debate with former President Trump.
Trump will travel this week to Michigan and Georgia, according to his campaign.
Polling has shown Harris has established a lead over Trump nationally, with the Decision Desk HQ/The Hill average giving the vice president a 3.6 percentage point edge.
But the race remains extremely close in the seven battleground states expected to decide the election. The Decision Desk average of polls shows Harris and Trump are separated by less than 1 percentage point in Michigan, Georgia, Arizona and North Carolina. They are separated by 1.2 percentage points in Pennsylvania and Nevada, and by 2 percentage points in Wisconsin.
