Harris campaign planning weekend push across Pennsylvania

Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is launching an extensive mobilization effort across Pennsylvania this weekend that will lead up to a Monday rally featuring Gov. Josh Shapiro and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan.

U.S. Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) will be on hand in Montgomery County for a volunteer canvassing kick-off, and Shapiro is the headliner at an event in Cumberland County on Saturday morning. In preparation, the Harris campaign has held press conferences with local Democratic leaders in Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Erie and has two more planned in Pittsburgh and Scranton on Friday.

President Joe Biden said Sunday he was bowing out of his reelection bid, and quickly endorsed Harris, who has received support from enough delegates to clinch the party’s official nomination during a virtual roll call vote slated for early August.

Our Governor is one of her campaign co-chairs so I expect Kamala to be here in Michigan quite a bit.

red Pennsylvania, too. She can bring Sen Fetterman or Sen Sanders along. Both are popular in these areas and would energize the usually demoralized Dems who live there.

In 2016, Clinton ignored these areas to concentrate on Dem areas. Hopefully, the Harris campaign doesn't make the same mistake.
