Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump return to the campaign trail this week as the presidential nominees head toward a Sept. 10 debate showdown — but with the GOP standard-bearer casting doubt it will even happen.
Harris will look to keep the momentum from her Democratic National Convention going with a bus tour in south Georgia that will end with a Thursday evening rally in Savannah as her campaign looks to expand the electoral map. Trump has events planned in the so-called “blue wall” swing states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania as he works to try cutting off Harris’ clearest path to the presidency.
Some Democrats hailed Harris’ Thursday night DNC nomination acceptance speech as ushering in a pragmatic progressivism that could appeal to swing voters in the eight swing states that should decide the presidential race. Republicans, however, have panned the speech as divisive, vague on policy prescriptions and mostly silent on issues like inflation and immigration.
