Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump Campaign Trail Contrasts
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are painting much different pictures as they meet with voters on the campaign trail. Harris, by turns, is pushing “joy” — branding the Democratic ticket, which includes her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, “as joyful warriors.”
Trump, on the other hand, has adopted a gloomier view for Republicans, stating at a news conference last week that, “We have a lot of bad things coming up.”
Both candidates and their running mates will engage with voters in the coming days.
Walz will hold his first solo events this week, traveling on Tuesday to Los Angeles to speak at the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees convention, before attending a series of fundraisers around the country.
Trump is scheduled for a live interview on X, the social platform from which he was banned for nearly two years following the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the U.S. Capitol.

Walz to hold first solo events as Harris’ running mate
Tim Walz is holding his first solo events as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, traveling on Tuesday to Los Angeles to speak at the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees convention, before attending a series of fundraisers around the country.
After his speech in Los Angeles, the Minnesota governor will hit five states in three days, starting with a fundraiser in Newport Beach, California.
He will headline two more fundraisers on Wednesday in Denver and Boston. Additional fundraisers are scheduled in Newport, Rhode Island, and Southampton, New York the following day.
Harris introduced Walz as her running mate during a joint rally last week in Philadelphia. The duo campaigned together in Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada. The Vice President will campaign with Biden in Maryland this week, unveiling her policy proposals on the economy.
