Obama to Campaign for Harris in Pennsylvania, Other Key States
Former President Barack Obama will campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris starting next week in Pennsylvania, marking the beginning of a 27-day campaign blitz across key battleground states. The first stop will be in the Pittsburgh area on October 10, where Obama will rally support for Harris ahead of the November 5 election.
Obama’s campaign efforts will include rallies, candidate-specific advertisements, and email campaigns aimed at raising funds for various races, including those further down the ballot. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to leverage Obama’s popularity among Democrats and help Harris secure the presidency.
Harris has been actively campaigning in Pennsylvania, visiting the state more than a dozen times this year. The state’s 19 electoral votes are crucial to the election, and both Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump have been focusing extensively on Pennsylvania.
Obama’s support for Harris is significant, given his enduring popularity and influence within the Democratic Party. His endorsement is expected to boost Harris’s campaign, particularly in battleground states where the election margins are expected to be narrow.
