US Vice President Kamala Harris takes her presidential campaign to the critical state of Pennsylvania on Sunday (18) before heading to Chicago, where the Democratic Party is expected to nominate her this week to face Donald Trump in the November 5 election.
Opinion polls show Harris bringing new energy to the campaign and closing the gap with former President Trump both nationally and in many of the eight highly competitive states, including Pennsylvania, that will play a decisive role in choosing Democratic President Joe Biden’s successor.
“I’ve been to every convention since I could vote, and I can tell you that I haven’t felt this kind of energy and electricity at any convention other than Barack Obama’s,” Illinois Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker said at the State of the Union. CNN this Sunday.
Obama was elected in 2008 as the first black president in U.S. history. Harris, who is black and of Asian descent, would be the first female president if she wins in November.
Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are planning a bus tour starting in Pittsburgh that will make several stops throughout the day in Allegheny and Beaver counties, areas her campaign considers critical to winning Pennsylvania.
The trip comes a day after Trump gave a speech in northeastern Pennsylvania, where he derided Harris as a “radical” and a “lunatic,” saying he believed she would be easier to defeat than Biden, 81, who dropped out last month under pressure from his own party after a disastrous debate with Trump.
