VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND GOVERNOR WALZ TO BARNSTORM BATTLEGROUND STATES IN DAYS FOLLOWING DEBATE TO SHARE THEIR MESSAGE OF A NEW WAY FORWARD
SWING WILL INCLUDE EVENTS IN EVERY MEDIA MARKET IN EVERY BATTLEGROUND STATE AND FEATURE HARRIS, WALZ, AND TOP SURROGATES
PUSH WILL INCLUDE NEW AD CALLED “NEW WAY FORWARD” LAUNCHING SUNDAY IN EIGHT STATES
VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS WILL KICK OFF THE NEW WAY FORWARD TOUR IN NORTH CAROLINA ON SEPT 12
TOUR WILL HIGHLIGHT THE CHOICE BETWEEN TWO VERY DIFFERENT VISIONS FOR OUR COUNTRY AS WE APPROACH ONLY 50 DAYS LEFT
Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz will barnstorm battleground states in the days following the first presidential debate between Harris and Donald Trump. With less than 60 days until Election Day, the swing will include events in every media market in every battleground state in just four days. Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff and Minnesota First Lady Gwen Walz will also hit the trail, in addition to other top surrogates. The Vice President will kick off the tour in North Carolina on Thursday, before heading to Pennsylvania on Friday. Our post-debate mobilization will also include a new ad that will begin airing across battleground states.
From Thursday, September 12 through Sunday, September 15, the New Way Forward Tour will continue the campaign’s efforts to mobilize support, drive enthusiasm, and reach the voters who will decide this election as we approach the closing weeks of the campaign. Across the country, campaign surrogates will underscore the contrast between Vice President Harris and Governor Walz’s vision for a brighter, more hopeful future versus Donald Trump and JD Vance’s Project 2025 that will give Trump unprecedented, unchecked power to enact his extreme and dangerous agenda. The events will vary from rallies to community events to canvass kick-offs to additional stops on the Reproductive Rights Bus Tour, and also include programming specifically targeting critical constituencies with the final day of the tour culminating on the first day of Hispanic Heritage Month.
“This election is about two very different visions for our country. Donald Trump and JD Vance want to take us backward with their dangerous and extreme Project 2025 agenda. Vice President Harris and Governor Walz are fighting for a New Way Forward that protects our fundamental freedoms, strengthens our democracy, and ensures every person has the opportunity to not just get by, but to get ahead,” said Harris-Walz campaign Communications Director Michael Tyler. “With early voting about to begin and less than 60 days until Election Day, our campaign will take the vice president’s message directly to the voters wherever they are – on the airwaves, on the doors, and online. With so much at stake in this election, we are blitzing the battlegrounds and leaving it all out on the field.”
As part of the New Way Forward Tour, Vice President Harris and Governor Walz will embark on a swing across the battleground states. On Thursday, the Vice President is in North Carolina and Governor Walz is in Michigan. On Friday, the Vice President will head to Pennsylvania, while Governor Walz will continue to make stops in Michigan and Wisconsin. Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff and Minnesota First Lady Gwen Walz will embark on a swing across key states: Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff will make stops in Nevada, Arizona, and Florida. Minnesota First Lady Gwen Walz will be in Georgia, New Hampshire, and Maine.
More details to come for each stop and for the other top surrogate travel.
Additionally, the Harris-Walz campaign will launch a new ad nationwide and in eight states called “New Way Forward” that highlights Vice President Harris’ vision for strengthening our middle class, including a federal ban on price gouging on food, capping the cost of prescription drugs, and ending our country’s affordable housing shortage. The ad will air in Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Nebraska. Team Harris-Walz is running tailored versions of the ad targeted to each state. This ad will air as part of the campaign’s historic $370 million investment in TV and digital reservations between Labor Day and Election Day.
VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS: This election is about two very different visions for our nation.
One focused on the future and the other focused on the past. When the middle class is strong, America is strong.
Lowering the cost of living will be a defining goal of my Presidency.
I'll lower the cost of insulin and prescription drugs for everyone, and I will work to pass the first ever federal ban on price gouging on food.
More than 100 million Americans will get a tax cut.
We will end America’s housing shortage by building 3 million new homes and rentals that are affordable for the middle class.
Together, we will build an economy where everyone can compete and have a real chance to succeed.
Now is the time to chart a new way forward.
I’m Kamala Harris and I approve this message.
