Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will head to Pennsylvania on Thursday to support Kamala Harris as the countdown to Election Day draws to a close.
Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, will first speak at a campaign event in Bucks County on Thursday morning before traveling to Erie later in the day. The Harris-Walz campaign said the governor plans to make a “local stop” during his visit to Erie.
Earlier this week, Bucks County was sued over the campaigns for former President Donald Trump and Republican Senate candidate Dave McCormick after some voters turned away from voting by mail on demand on Tuesday, October 29.
The lawsuit alleged that the county engaged in voter suppression, and a the judge ruled on Wednesday that voters can request, receive, vote and return a ballot until Friday, November 1.
On social media, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said Republican and Democratic election secretaries are working with law enforcement to ensure only eligible voters are registered and can vote.
Walz was in the Delaware Valley last week to deliver remarks at a campaign fundraiser in Philadelphia. He also traveled to Allentown to meet with Latino voters before continuing to Scranton for an Oct. 25 rally.
Pennsylvania was also Walz’s first stop after the vice presidential debate with Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance.
The candidates and their supporters have made numerous stops in Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia area in recent weeks, wooing voters in a battleground state where 19 Electoral College votes are up for grabs on election night.
According to CBS News’ latest estimates of voter support in the country’s most competitive states, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are tied in Pennsylvania, and tied or nearly tied in the other battlegrounds.
