Kamala Harris to return to Arizona, this time to promote early voting

Vice President Kamala Harris is coming back to Arizona on Friday, making her second trip to the battleground state in the last two weeks.

Harris will be in Arizona to mark the start of early voting. Although Election Day isn’t for another month, Arizonans can soon start to cast their ballots and return them ahead of Nov. 5.

Mailed ballots begin to go out across Arizona on Wednesday, two days before Harris' visit. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, her running mate, will stump in the state on Wednesday.

The race between Harris, a Democrat, and former President Donald Trump, a Republican, is razor-thin, according to the latest public polls. Battleground Arizona was the closest state in the 2020 election — President Joe Biden beat Trump by fewer than 11,000 votes — and the race is shaping up for another close finish next month.

As a result, Harris is coming to the southwestern battleground to shore up support. Two weeks ago, the vice president traveled to the border city of Douglas to visit the U.S.-Mexico border and pitch her border security plan to supporters.
