Harris Rallies Supporters on Bus Tour

August 18, 2024 · 4:28 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Vice President Kamala Harris kicked off a bus tour through Pennsylvania by rallying volunteers in the critical battleground state, as her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, announced plans to ratchet up his cadence of political events in a bid to stall her momentum,” Bloomberg reports.

“Harris’ trip to Pittsburgh and the city’s surrounding counties ahead of the Democratic National Convention this week in Chicago underscores how crucial the state is to Democrats’ hopes in November, and efforts by Harris — who has surged in the polls since taking over the party ticket for President Joe Biden just weeks ago — to make inroads with White suburban voters who could decide the race.”

New York Times: “This will be quite an unmistakable caravan through western Pennsylvania.”

Washington Post: Harris and Walz launch pre-convention bus tour in western Pennsylvania.
