Vice President Kamala Harris is gearing up for a four-day campaign journey through crucial swing states after her debate on Tuesday with Republican opponent Donald Trump. The tour, dubbed “New Way Forward,” will feature a range of events such as rallies, canvassing, and targeted programs to engage key voter groups. The campaign, set to culminate at the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month on September 15, aims to sway voters before intensifying efforts on turnout leading up to the November 5 election.
In a closely contested race against the former president, the Harris campaign is strategizing to connect with voters directly through various means including television messages, door-to-door outreach, and online engagement. With the race heating up post-debate in Philadelphia, the focus is now on a spirited sprint towards the finish line in what has been a riveting election season.
Campaign communications director Michael Tyler emphasized the campaign’s commitment to amplifying the vice president’s message across different platforms to engage voters effectively. Meanwhile, Trump, who campaigned in Wisconsin over the weekend, took to social media to warn of rigorous prosecution for those involved in what he deems as election misconduct, should he secure victory.
As the nation gears up to commemorate the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, political figures are expected to pay tribute following the debate. Harris will commence her tour in North Carolina on Thursday, while her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, will engage with voters in Michigan. The spouses of the candidates will also partake in the tour, with Doug Emhoff visiting Nevada, Arizona, and Florida, and Gwen Walz scheduled to connect with voters in Georgia, New Hampshire, and Maine.
Alongside the campaign trail, a new TV advertisement by Harris will highlight her proposed policies on middle-class tax reductions, tackling prescription drug costs, and addressing the housing crisis. The ad, part of a wider $370 million media investment, will be customized for voters in key states including Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Nebraska. Stay tuned for more updates on the campaign’s activities and engagements.
