Vice presidential nominee Tim Walz and Gwen Walz will campaign in Milwaukee on Labor Day

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz and Minnesota First Lady Gwen Walz will be on Milwaukee on Labor Day, Sept. 2, the Harris-Walz campaign announced Tuesday.

Off the heels of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Vice President Kamala Harris and the Walz family will "blitz the country for a series of events in every battleground state," the campaign said.

Harris will travel to Detroit, Michigan and appear with President Joe Biden in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff will appear at a Labor Day event in Newport News, Virginia. Other campaign surrogates, such as Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, will visit North Carolina, Nevada and Georgia.

It's not yet announced where the Walzes will speak in Milwaukee, or what time they'll be in the city. One potential appearance is Milwaukee's Laborfest 2024, which takes place Sept. 2 at the Henry Maier Festival Grounds and features activities like a parade, music, bingo and a classic car show. Biden spoke at Laborfest in 2022.
