Fox News Politics: Harris’ Heavy Hitter
The latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews, and more Fox News politics content.
Welcome to the Fox News Politics newsletter, featuring the latest political news from Washington, D.C. and updates from the 2024 campaign trail.
Here’s what’s happening:
- Hurricane Helene aftermath leaves Mayorkas in hot water.
- Trump to reunite with old nemesis to survey storm damage in key battleground state.
- Most NYC residents want indicted Mayor Eric Adams to resign.
Former President Obama is preparing to hit the campaign trail next week for Vice President Harris, focusing on key battleground states in the lead up to Election Day, according to a senior campaign official with anonymity to discuss the matter.
Obama, who served back-to-back terms as president from 2009 through 2017, will kick off his drive in the Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania on Thursday, a state which remains one of the tightest contests in the nation and which could tip the scales for either candidate.
A Fox News survey of Pennsylvania voters last week found Harris narrowly ahead of Trump by 2 points (50-48%) among registered voters, while the race is tied at 49% each among likely voters. President Biden won the state by more than 80,000 votes in 2020.
President Obama’s Senior Advisor Eric Schultz tells Fox News that the 44th president is determined to help Harris and other Democrats get elected.
“President Obama believes the stakes of this election could not be more consequential and that is why he is doing everything he can to help elect Vice President Harris, Governor Walz and Democrats across the country,” Schultz said.
Other key points include:
- Trump to headline NRA event in pivotal swing state two weeks before Election Day.
- Trump holds significant lead over Harris on immigration and border security in key state: poll.
- Harris leads Trump by 2 in national poll, but shows vulnerabilities with non-White voters.
