Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to visit Eau Claire, Wisconsin, on Wednesday as part of her ongoing tour of battleground states alongside Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Her remarks in Eau Claire are expected to take place at 1:20 p.m. CT (2:20 p.m. ET). Following her visit to Wisconsin, Harris will travel to battleground Michigan, where she is set to address a campaign event in Detroit at 6:40 p.m. ET.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump's running mate, JD Vance, will also be visiting these states on the same day to engage with voters on behalf of the GOP ticket. Vance is slated to deliver remarks at a press event in Shelby Township, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, at 10 a.m. ET. He will then proceed to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, for another press event.
Recent reports indicate that the Ohio senator is strategically organizing events in the same cities and states as his opponents to draw attention away from the Democratic ticket's campaign launch. Vance's tour aims to reintroduce him to the American public following initial controversies surrounding his past comments about women and elected officials without children. This tour also provides Vance with an opportunity to shift focus away from Vice President Harris, who is entering a new phase of her campaign and striving to sustain momentum.
