As the final months of the campaign heat up, candidates are busy today with events and trips to various battleground states, including Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada and Georgia.
Here’s where they are today:
Former President Donald Trump will spend much of the day debating the economy and immigration in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state. President Trump is scheduled to give a speech at an event in Scranton at 3 p.m. ET that will focus on his plan to eliminate taxes on wages and household prices, as well as overtime and tips. He will then speak at a rally in Reading at 7 p.m. ET on topics such as energy prices, household prices and the impact of immigration on the economy.
Pennsylvania is a pivotal state in shaping the path to winning 270 electoral votes this November. As the largest swing state with 19 electoral votes, Pennsylvania accounts for the lion’s share of candidates’ visits and campaign contributions.
Vice President Kamala Harris will join President Joe Biden virtually to receive an update on the administration’s preparations for Hurricane Milton, forecasts and likely impacts. At 2:00 p.m. ET, Harris will leave New York for Las Vegas.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz attended an event for veterans and military families in Chandler, Arizona, with Senate candidate Ruben Gallego and the son of former Arizona Republican Sen.
