___Vice President Kamala Harris will arrive in Pittsburgh Thursday and is expected to stay in the city until Tuesday, when she will travel to Philadelphia to debate former President Donald Trump.

Harris is spending the weekend preparing in Pittsburgh to give her an opportunity to pop out for quick campaign appearances in a state that will be critical to her chances in the presidential race, sources familiar with her strategy told the Inquirer.

Harris’ running mate nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz embarked on his first solo trip to the commonwealth — including Pittsburgh — Wednesday and will continue his tour of Pa. on Thursday.

The vice president will be back in Pennsylvania the day after the debate when she and Biden will visit and pay their respects at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville on Sept. 11.
