“Does this bus stop at 82nd Street?”
Bruce Springsteenwho returns to Pittsburgh on Thursday for the first time in eight years, he asked this question in a song a few decades ago and we’ll see if the answer is positive when Vice President Kamala Harris and vice-presidential candidate Tim Waltz On Sunday we begin our bus tour of Pennsylvania.
Harris and Walz will begin their cross-country tour in Pittsburgh and plan to make several stops throughout the day, according to campaign officials. The tour will take place the day before the Democratic National Convention begins in Chicago.
This will be the first time the couple will campaign together with their spouses, the second gentleman Doug Emhoff AND Gwen Waltz.
While a detailed schedule had not been released as of press time, the tour is expected to focus on meeting voters in public places, such as retail stores, and will also include campaign kick-off events.
The move underscores the importance Democrats place on Pennsylvania and its 19 electoral votes. Just last week, Harris introduced Walz as her vice presidential candidate in Philadelphia.
This will be Harris’ eighth visit to the Keystone State this year.
Republican candidate Donald Trump and his companion for vice president JD Vance will also be in the Commonwealth this week. Trump will hold a rally in Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, and Vance will speak in Lower Burrell on Thursday.
AND swing state poll by The Cook Political Report showed Harris with a 48-43% lead over Trump in Pennsylvania in a multi-candidate race.
