Vice President Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), will rally supporters in critical battleground states following Tuesday’s presidential debate between Harris and former President Trump.
Harris’s campaign will kick off Thursday what it’s billing as the “New Way Forward Tour,” two days after the debate and a day after the vice president marks the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The vice president will visit North Carolina on Thursday and Pennsylvania on Friday. Walz will be in Nevada on Tuesday, Michigan on Thursday and Wisconsin on Friday. Second gentleman Doug Emhoff and Walz’s wife, Gwen, will also visit key swing states, including Arizona, Georgia, New Hampshire and Maine.
In addition to their travel, the campaign will also launch a new ad called “New Way Forward” that highlights Harris’s key proposals, including a ban on price gouging and investments to increase the housing supply. The ad will air in Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Nebraska.
“This election is about two very different visions for our country,” Harris campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement. “Donald Trump and JD Vance want to take us backward with their dangerous and extreme Project 2025 agenda. Vice President Harris and Governor Walz are fighting for a New Way Forward that protects our fundamental freedoms, strengthens our democracy, and ensures every person has the opportunity to not just get by, but to get ahead.
“With early voting about to begin and less than 60 days until Election Day, our campaign will take the vice president’s message directly to the voters wherever they are — on the airwaves, on the doors, and online,” Tyler continued. “With so much at stake in this election, we are blitzing the battlegrounds and leaving it all out on the field.”
Harris and Trump are set to debate Tuesday night in Philadelphia. The event is being hosted by ABC News. The Harris campaign has signaled it may agree to a second debate in October, but no such event is on the books. There is a vice presidential debate scheduled for Oct. 1.
