Governor Tim Walz to Barnstorm Pennsylvania
On Wednesday, September 4 and Thursday, September 5, 2024, Governor Tim Walz will host a series of political events across the state of Pennsylvania. The barnstorm will mark the Governor’s first solo visit to the battleground state since joining the Harris-Walz ticket. Additional details will follow.
Team Harris-Walz Launches New Paid Ad Campaign on Trump's Project 2025
Project 2025 Ad Series Will Reach Voters Between Now and Election Day, Zero-In on Trump’s Efforts to Consolidate Power, Threats to Reproductive Freedom, Department of Education, and More
Comes Alongside Aggressive Online and Organizing Efforts Around Project 2025 in Battleground States
In the run up to the September 10 ABC Presidential Debate, Team Harris-Walz is launching a new paid media campaign focused on the dangers of Trump’s Project 2025. Fueled in large part by the $370 million in paid media that Team Harris-Walz has reserved between Labor Day and Election Day, battleground voters will hear every single day about the existential danger Trump’s Project 2025 agenda poses to American democracy, freedom, and the middle class.
The Project 2025 ad campaign begins tomorrow on TV and digital across battleground states and the Palm-Beach-Fort Pierce media market, with “Control.” Using Trump’s own words, “Control” puts a spotlight on how Trump will be even more extreme and dangerous in a second term, wielding power “aggressively” to “go after” his political rivals as “the most powerful president ever,” giving him the power to fire civil servants and seek vengeance, make severe cuts to Medicare and Social Security, defund the Department of Education, and even allow states to monitor women’s pregnancies. With the Supreme Court’s decision to give him virtually unlimited immunity to do whatever he wants as president, Donald Trump’s campaign of revenge and retribution is not just empty rhetoric, but threats that he intends to make good on.
“Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda is a threat to every value that Americans hold dear. From cutting Social Security and Medicare to defunding the Department of Education, banning abortion nationwide, and using the power of the presidency to seek vengeance against his political rivals, there are no limits to the extreme steps Donald Trump will take if he wins,” said Harris-Walz Principal Deputy Campaign Manager Quentin Fulks. “While Vice President Harris and Governor Walz are barnstorming the battlegrounds ahead of the debates presenting a vision on how to bring America forward, our campaign is going to take every opportunity to lay out in stark contrast Donald Trump’s dark and extreme vision for this country. On September 10, Donald Trump will be forced to answer for his ties to Project 2025, but our campaign won’t waste a minute communicating to the voters who will decide this election every single day before and after – because the stakes are far too high this November. ”
The new ads come as the Harris-Walz campaign has been running a robust online and on-the-ground effort to cement the choice for battleground voters this November between Vice President Harris’ vision for a new way forward and Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda. Across social channels, Team Harris-Walz has been relentless in lifting up the dangers of Project 2025, and making sure it breaks through to voters who may not be tuned into political coverage. For example, on TikTok 70% of viewers of Project 2025 content came from their For You page in June – and not because they followed the campaign. Project 2025 content also garnered 11 million impressions across @KamalaHQ accounts during the convention alone, and has remained in the top 5 of best performing topics across social platforms since our accounts began posting about it. On the ground, Team Harris-Walz has consistently held events underscoring the threats of Project 2025 across the battlegrounds, including this week in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania as Trump and Vance are campaigning there.
The more Americans learn about Trump’s Project 2025 agenda, the more unpopular it gets. Recent polls found that between 70 and 80 percent of Americans had already heard about Project 2025. Even Trump and Republicans concede “Project 2025 is an unmitigated polling disaster.”
“Control” is part of Team Harris-Walz’s historic $370 million in digital and television advertising reservations between Labor Day and Election Day, including in shorter versions. In addition to buying advertising directly in key battlegrounds, the campaign is also placing a significant eight figure investment in national TV placements. Those ads will air in every market across the country. National buys also allow us to maximize paths to 270 by reaching beyond the core battlegrounds.
NARRATOR: Donald Trump’s back.
And he’s out for control.
TRUMP: “I would have every right to go after them.”
NARRATOR: Complete control.
TRUMP: “I will wield that power very aggressively.”
NARRATOR: And he has a plan to get it.
TRUMP: “Detailed plans for exactly what our movement will do.”
NARRATOR: It’s called Project 2025.
A 922-page blueprint to make Donald Trump the most powerful president ever.
Overhauling the Department of Justice … giving Trump the unchecked power to seek vengeance.
Eliminating the Department of Education and defunding K-12 schools.
Requiring the government to monitor women’s pregnancies and severe cuts to Medicare and Social Security.
Donald Trump may try to deny it, but those are Donald Trump’s plans.
TRUMP: “Well revenge does take time. I will say that. And sometimes revenge can be justified.”
NARRATOR: He’ll take control. We’ll pay the price.
VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS: I’m Kamala Harris and I approve this message.
Harris Campaign Launches Comprehensive Ad and Outreach Blitz To Communicate Her Plans To Lower Americans’ Housing Costs
Battleground State Events and New TV Ad Also Spotlight Harris’ Personal Story About Her Working Mom Saving to Buy a Home
Vice President Harris: “We Should Be Doing Everything We Can to Make it More Affordable to Buy a Home, Not Less.”
Today, Vice President Harris’ campaign launched a new comprehensive ad and outreach blitz to help tell the Vice President’s personal story and to share her plans to lower housing costs directly with voters, with events across the battleground states and a new TV ad.
“Full House,” a new ad running as part of Team Harris-Walz’s ongoing $150 million August paid media blitz, puts a spotlight on Vice President Harris’ upbringing, being raised by a working mother who saved up for more than 10 years to finally buy a home. Her middle-class upbringing informs her approach to governing, which is why she has proposed an urgent and comprehensive four-year plan to end America’s housing shortage and lower housing costs for working families. As she outlined in North Carolina, Vice President Harris will crack down on exploitative landlords as president, build 3 million new homes, and offer tax incentives to first-time homebuyers to make homeownership a reality for more Americans.
On the ground this week alone, the campaign is hosting nearly 20 events across 12 states to share the Vice President’s vision with the American people. These events will focus on cities and communities who face the biggest housing challenges and underscore the contrast at the center of this election: Vice President Harris is running to lower costs and end the housing shortage, while Donald Trump has a long history of exploiting tenants as a landlord, upholding racist housing practices, and giving handouts to wealthy real estate developers while jacking up rent for working- and middle-class Americans.
“Full House” is the third ad focused on building an opportunity economy and lowering costs for the American people, following “Opportunity” and “Everyday.” It is part of Team Harris-Walz’s historic $150 million paid media buy for the month of August, targeting voters in key battleground states who will decide this election.
The following is a statement from Harris-Walz Battleground States Director Dan Kanninen:
“Vice President Harris knows we need to do more to address our housing crisis — that’s why she has a plan to end the housing shortage, calling for the construction of 3 million new housing units and cracking down on corporate landlords and Wall Street banks hiking up rents and housing costs to bring prices down for our families. But under Trump, life will only get more expensive, with his Project 2025 agenda raising millions of Americans’ housing costs while his wealthy friends profit. That’s the choice facing voters this November, and our campaign is going to make it clear to voters across the battlegrounds.”
Vice President Harris: For most of my childhood, we were renters.
My mother saved for well over a decade to buy a home. I was a teenager when that day finally came, and I can remember so well how excited she was.
I know what homeownership means, and sadly right now it is out of reach for far too many American families.
During the foreclosure crisis, I took on the big banks who exploited people in the housing market.
And today, corporate landlords buy hundreds of houses and apartments, then turn them around and rent them out at extremely high prices. I will fight for a law that cracks down on these practices.
We will end America’s housing shortage by building 3 million new homes and rentals.
We should be doing everything we can to make it more affordable to buy a home, not less.
I’m Kamala Harris and I approve this message.
New Ad Continues Vice President Harris’s Post-Convention Focus on the Economy, Lowering Costs for Americans Everyday Joins Ad Released Last Friday as Part of Vice President Harris’ Focused Effort to Speak Directly to the American People and Voters in Key Battleground States About Her Economic Vision and Beliefs Harris in Ad Contrasts Her Fight for Working People with Trump’s Fight for Billionaires and Large Corporations: “If You Want to Know Who Someone Cares About, Look Who They Fight for” Coming off of the Democratic National Convention, Vice President Harris is speaking directly to the American people, including voters in battleground states, about her values and her plans to lower costs and fight for middle class families. Today, the Harris-Walz campaign is releasing a new ad, “Everyday,” focused on Vice President Harris’ lowering costs agenda. The ad follows another newly-released ad, “Opportunity,” which was unveiled last Friday and features the Vice President’s argument for an opportunity economy that she outlined in her North Carolina address. As president, Vice President Harris is committed to bringing down costs, cutting taxes for the middle class, and making it more affordable for middle-class Americans to own a home. “Everyday” also contrasts Kamala Harris’ vision with that of Donald Trump: cutting taxes for billionaires and large corporations. Part of Team Harris-Walz’s historic, $150 million August paid media buy targeting the voters who will decide this election, “Everyday” is a 60-second ad running on national cable TV and locally across battleground states. This buy demonstrates Vice President Harris and Governor Walz’s commitment to speaking directly to the American people and communicating their values and plans to make their lives better – while also reaching every voter where they are. The following is a statement from Harris-Walz spokesperson Seth Schuster: “Vice President Harris understands working and middle class Americans because she grew up in communities like theirs. She knows costs are too high, which is why she’ll continue fighting to make life more affordable and build an economy that gives every American the chance to not just get by, but get ahead. This November, Americans will face a choice between a president like Kamala Harris who will always fight for the middle class, and Donald Trump, who will only fight to help the rich get richer and leave everyone else behind.” Vice President Harris: Every day, across our nation, families talk about their plans for the future. And they talk about how they’re going to achieve them financially. And prices are still too high. When I am elected president, I will make it a top priority to bring down costs. We should be doing everything we can to make it more affordable to buy a home. Under my plan, more than 100 million Americans will get a tax cut. I will help families, letting you keep more of your hard-earned money, As president, I will be laser-focused on creating opportunities for the middle class that advance their economic security, stability, and dignity. If you want to know who someone cares about, look who they fight for. Donald Trump fights for billionaires and large corporations. I will fight to give money back to working and middle class Americans. I’m Kamala Harris and I approve this message.
Vice Presidential Nominee, Senator JD Vance to Deliver Remarks on the Economy and Energy in Erie, Pennsylvania
Vice Presidential Nominee, Senator JD Vance to Deliver Remarks on the Economy and Energy in Erie, Pennsylvania on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, at 3:00PM EDT.
Since Harris and Biden took office, Kamala Harris has turned her back on everyday Pennsylvanians and broken one promise after another. In 2019, Kamala said that there’s “no question I’m in favor” of banning fracking; in 2020, after becoming Biden’s VP nominee, she flip-flopped to say she wouldn’t ban fracking. And as soon as she took power, the Harris-Biden administration reverted back to Kamala’s 2019 position and cracked down on fracking and American energy, wrecking Pennsylvania’s energy workers and driving up the price of a gallon of gas to record high.
After Kamala cast the tie-breaking vote on the Democrats’ “stimulus” bill that even Obama economists said would worsen inflation, Pennsylvania families have been paying nearly $1,000 more per month due to rising prices. Inflation has cost Pennsylvania families over $23,000 since Kamala took office, as Pennsylvania seniors surviving on fixed Social Security benefits are down to eating ramen.
President Trump and Senator Vance know that Pennsylvania cannot take another four years of a dangerously incompetent and dangerously liberal Kamala Harris. A Trump-Vance Administration will Make America Great Again by unleashing American drilling to halve energy costs and help Pennsylvania households keep more of their paychecks.

Vice Presidential Nominee, Senator JD Vance to Deliver Remarks on the Economy, Inflation and Energy in De Pere, Wisconsin
Vice Presidential Nominee, Senator JD Vance to Deliver Remarks on the Economy, Inflation and Energy in De Pere, Wisconsin on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, at 6:30PM CDT.
Under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s disastrous administration, Wisconsin families have been put through the wringer – forced to pay high prices for everything from school supplies to mortgage payments. Wisconsinites have been forced to choose between groceries and gas, seen their parental rights ignored, and helplessly watch their hard-earned paychecks be carelessly spent by Democrats’ inflationary spending agenda. From rural farms to the urban cites like Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin voters know they can not afford another four years of Kamala Harris’ costly agenda.
Whether it’s her push to end cash bail – a policy that would allow dangerous criminals like Darrell Brooks to roam freely in our neighborhoods – or her support for massive spending bills and a Green New Deal agenda, there isn’t a county in Wisconsin which can sustain another four years of Kamala Harris. While Democrats pay lip service to Wisconsin workers, families and farmers, President Trump and Senator JD Vance are the only pair offering commonsense solutions for the kitchen table issues that continue to be top of mind for Wisconsinites.

President Donald J. Trump to Hold a Rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania
45th President of the United States, President Donald J. Trump to Hold a Rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania on Friday, August 30, 2024, at 4:30PM EDT.
Since Harris and Biden took office, Kamala Harris has turned her back on everyday Pennsylvanians and broken one promise after another. In 2019, Kamala said that there’s “no question I’m in favor” of banning fracking; in 2020, after becoming Biden’s VP nominee, she flip-flopped to say she wouldn’t ban fracking. And as soon as she took power, the Harris-Biden administration reverted back to Kamala’s 2019 position and cracked down on fracking and American energy, wrecking Pennsylvania’s energy workers and driving up the price of a gallon of gas to record high.

Inflation has cost Pennsylvania families over $23,000 since Kamala took office, as Pennsylvania seniors surviving on fixed Social Security benefits are down to eating ramen.
At the same time, Kamala’s open border policies have let an unprecedented 10 million illegal immigrants into our country. Criminals and literal tons of drugs are flowing across our border and into Pennsylvania communities. While Kamala flip-flops to say she now supports border security, thousands of migrants continue pouring over the southern border every day on her watch as “border czar.”
President Trump knows that Pennsylvania cannot take another four years of a dangerously incompetent and dangerously liberal Kamala Harris. A Trump-Vance Administration will Make America Great Again by unleashing American drilling to halve energy costs, halting the migrant invasion on our southern border, and restoring America’s rightful standing and respect on the world stage.

President Donald J. Trump to Host a Town Hall in La Crosse, Wisconsin
President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will Hold a Town Hall in La Crosse, Wisconsin on Thursday, August 29, 2024, at 6:00PM CDT.
After Wisconsin voters have been forced to endure four years of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s dangerously liberal policies, President Trump will meet with Wisconsinites to listen to their concerns and share his promising agenda: to make America affordable again.
In 2022, Wisconsin voters rejected Dangerous Democrat, Mandela Barnes – who Harris, of course, endorsed – and in the fall of 2024 they are ready to once again reject Dangerous Democrats like Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. The notorious swing state voters are eager to discuss kitchen table issues with President Trump and his commonsense solutions are exactly what will drive voters to the ballot box in droves this November.

President Donald J. Trump to Deliver Remarks on the Economy, Inflation, and Manufacturing in Potterville, Michigan
President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will Deliver Remarks on the Economy, Inflation, and Manufacturing in Potterville, Michigan, on Thursday, August 29, 2024 at 3:30PM EDT.
For nearly four years, the Harris-Biden economic policies have put unnecessary stress and pressure on Michigan families. Michigan’s inflation is at 20.5% -- forcing families to pay an additional $1,031 a month. Since Kamala Harris took office, Michiganders have spent $9,819 more on transportation, $4,464 more on energy, $4,020 on food and $4,183 more on shelter. That’s thousands of dollars Michiganders should have been putting aside for their families’ peace of mind.
Michigan cannot afford four more years of dangerously liberal policies from Kamala Harris. Take a look at Kamala’s war on energy, which has already begun destroying Michigan’s auto-working industry. Stellantis and Ford Motor Co. have been forced to close two major engine plants, Stellantis recently laid off over 2,000 workers at a truck plant in Warren, and General Motors laid off 1,300 workers in Detroit. Kamala’s proposed EV mandate would cost Michigan a minimum of 25,000 auto jobs, destroying lives for a policy that 63% of Michiganders don’t agree with.
President Trump knows that Michiganders can’t afford another four years of leadership that frivolously spends our hard-earned money. President Trump will Make America Affordable Again and make sure that more of our money stays in our pocketbooks. He’ll stop the war on energy and protect Michigan’s auto industry, preserving the jobs that are the backbone of the Great Lakes State.

Kennedy Announces Suspension of Campaign
PHOENIX, AZ—AUGUST 23, 2024—Independent Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. today announced in an address to the nation in Phoenix, Arizona, he is suspending his campaign.
Kennedy will remain on the ballot in most of the states for which he has qualified. “But in about 10 battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler,” Kennedy said, “I will remove my name and urge voters not to vote for me.”
In his speech, Kennedy described the considerations that led him to pull out. First was the censorship, media blockade, and legal warfare that kept his message from reaching vast swaths of the electorate. Second, many of his core issues have been adopted by Donald Trump.
Kennedy said, “Last summer, it looked like no candidate was willing to negotiate a quick end to the Ukraine war, to tackle the chronic disease epidemic, to protect free speech and restore our Constitutional freedoms, to clean corporate influence out of government, or to defy the Neocons and their agenda of endless military adventurism. But now, one of the two candidates has adopted these issues as his own, to the point where he has asked to enlist me in his administration to tackle those issues. I am speaking, of course, of Donald Trump.”
Kennedy went on to describe the existential threat posed by these issues and declared his intention to join President Trump’s cabinet to address them.
He concluded his address with a call for unity. “Ultimately the only thing that will save our children and our country is if we choose to love them more than we hate each other,” said Kennedy.
