As Labor Day draws near, the race for the 2024 presidency is intensifying. The campaigns of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, along with Donald Trump and JD Vance, are increasing their outreach efforts across the nation to engage voters in pivotal states.

Harris and Walz Focus on Georgia, Wisconsin and Michigan

Starting Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris will embark on a two-day bus tour throughout Georgia. Along with her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Harris aims to reach voters in rural, suburban, and urban regions, particularly within Black and working-class communities. The tour will finish with a rally in Savannah on Thursday evening.

Harris is set to emphasize economic topics, especially housing affordability, and will present her contrasting vision against former President Donald Trump. Her campaign has introduced a new advertisement promoting her proposal to build three million new homes over the next four years.

On Labor Day, Harris will join President Joe Biden for their first joint campaign appearance since she received the nomination. She will also make a stop in Detroit. Meanwhile, Walz is scheduled to visit Wisconsin, another crucial state for Democratic hopes in November.

Trump and Vance Increase Campaign Activities

In response to the rising energy surrounding Harris, Donald Trump is intensifying his campaign commitments. Following internal party critiques of his previous approach, Trump has shifted gears, committing to multiple events daily, particularly focusing on smaller forums centered around specific issues in battleground states.

This Thursday, Trump and Senator JD Vance will be conducting various rallies, including a town hall meeting in La Crosse, Wisconsin. On Wednesday, Vance will be in both Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, while Trump visits Michigan and Wisconsin on Thursday. The Trump campaign is stressing the importance of these “blue wall” states, which Harris cannot afford to lose.

Moreover, Trump is being more active in podcast interviews and boosting his presence on social media platforms like X, formerly known as Twitter.
