Vice President Kamala Harris recently engaged with the Aliquippa High School football team during a stop on her campaign bus tour in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, on August 18, 2024.
Harris is set to travel to Pittsburgh to prepare for the upcoming presidential debate, as per sources familiar with the planning. She will be in the city until the debate on September 10.
This visit marks the second time Harris will be in Pittsburgh this week, following her joint campaign event with President Joe Biden on Labor Day. Reports suggest that Harris will limit her travel leading up to the debate to focus on preparation.
While in Pittsburgh, Harris plans to make community stops and continue campaigning in the critical battleground state. She aims to balance her campaign activities with debate preparation.
The upcoming September 10 debate, scheduled to take place at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, presents Harris with an opportunity to address a wide audience and contrast her policies with those of former President Donald Trump.
Sources indicate that discussions between the Harris and Trump campaigns regarding debate rules are ongoing. The Harris campaign advocates for keeping microphones on throughout the debate, while the Trump campaign prefers turning off microphones when the other candidate is speaking, as was done in the June debate.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden has chosen to prepare for his June debate at Camp David, focusing on his own debate strategy.
