Vice President Kamala Harris is embarking on a swing-state campaign blitz this week with a heavier travel schedule than her opponent, former President Donald Trump. This is a critical time for Harris, who is striving to introduce herself to voters just three months before Election Day, alongside her yet-to-be-announced running mate. She will campaign across seven swing states over five days, starting in Philadelphia. Her team has vetted six contenders for the VP spot, with Harris appearing with each separately on Sunday. Harris’ travel schedule contrasts sharply with Trump and President Joe Biden, as she plans to visit seven states in less time. The trip highlights the generational gap between Harris and her older opponents, with the focus on her youth and energy as an advantage. The campaign swing aims to generate media coverage, fundraising, and volunteer support, activating “micro-influencers” at rallies. The blitz signifies Harris’ readiness and ability to execute a successful campaign, creating excitement among Democratic allies. The trip comes as part of the strategy to define Harris and her running mate before Republicans can attack, showcasing her vitality and ability to connect with voters in key swing states.
