Trump, Harris kick into high gear at Saturday campaign stops
U.S. presidential candidates, former President Trump and Vice President Harris, are kicking into high gear at Saturday’s campaign stops, visiting battleground states and looking to turn out voters with less than 10 days before Election Day.
Trump is set to two hold two rallies, in Pennsylvania and Michigan, on Saturday. Harris will also be in Michigan, looking to turn out her supporters alongside former First Lady Michelle Obama.
This will be Michelle Obama’s first campaign event with the new Democratic ticket this cycle, according to Harris’s campaign.
The former president’s rally in Novi, Mich. is set to start at 12 p.m. EDT while his State College, Pa. campaign event is set to kick off at 4 p.m EDT.
Harris leads Trump by only 0.8 percent nationally, 48.6 percent to 47.8 percent, according to the latest The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s tally of polls.
Both contenders’ running mates will also be active on the campaign trail. Trump’s vice presidential pick, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), will be in Pennsylvania and Georgia, while Democratic Gov. Tim Walz (Minn.) will be crisscrossing Arizona.
Walz is set to first campaign in Window Rock, Ariz at 2:45 p.m. local time. He will then hold a rally in Phoenix at 6 p.m. local alongside comedian George Lopez and commentator Ana Navarro, according to the campaign. Later that night, he is set to fly to Las Vegas, Nev.
Vance is expected to hold a rally in Atlanta, Ga. at 11 a.m. local time where he will likely discuss Trump’s economic agenda. He will then depart the Peach State and head to Pennsylvania where he will address supporters in Erie, Pa. at 4:30 p.m. local time, likely focusing on the economy and labor policy.
Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff will also be in the Keystone State. Emhoff is set to rally Harris’s supporters in Harrisburg, Pa., encouraging them to vote early to assist the Democratic nominee in securing the state’s 19 Electoral College votes.
