Vice President Kamala Harris will make her 18th visit to Pennsylvania, because it is a key state, offering 19 Electoral College votes and where Puerto Rican voters could be an important influence on the November 5 result.
“Vice President Harris will begin her day with an event with hundreds of Pennsylvanians in Scranton, where she will deliver a speech, and after her remarks, Pennsylvanians will go knock on doors and encourage voters to get out and vote,” he reported. the campaign about the activities.
The vice president’s visit comes after the latest Univision survey in the state among Latino voters that gives 64% of voting intention to the Democrat against 30% for former President Donald Trump.
However, among voters originally from Puerto Rico, voting intention rises to 67% in favor of the Democrat and falls to 27% in favor of Trump, after the insults at the Republican’s rally in New York about Puerto Rico being “a “floating garbage island.”
The vice president will also meet with voters in Allentown, a majority-Latino city that is home to 34,000 Puerto Ricans, it was indicated.
“He will give a speech about what is at stake in the elections for working families, and Latinos in particular,” indicates the report provided to this newspaper. Fat Joe will be at that event.
Part of the tour includes Reading, where Harris will stop at a local Puerto Rican restaurant with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (New York) and Gov. Josh Shapiro.
In the evening, the vice president will rally voters in Pittsburgh at a rally and concert titled “When We Vote We Win,” the campaign said. At that event, the vice president will be accompanied by second gentleman Doug Emhoff and DJ D-Nice, Katy Perry and Andra Day will perform.
The last event will be at the famous “Rocky Steps” of the Philadelphia Museum of Arts with a concert that includes DJ Cassidy, Fat Joe, Freeway and Just Blaze, Lady Gaga, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Ricky Martin, The Roots, Jazmine Sullivan and Adam Blackstone, and Oprah Winfrey.
Pennsylvania is an essential state to obtain the 270 Electoral College votes and, in general polls, a tie is shown, including the recent report of the New York Times.
In 2016, Trump won that state, which was regained for Democrats in 2020 by President Joe Biden.
The importance is such that the Harris-Walz campaign has 50 campaign offices and more than 475 employees in the entity who seek to persuade voters and mobilize them to support Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
The Democratic electoral effort has mobilized 110,000 people who have already volunteered.
“The campaign is on track to knock on more than 5 million doors since the vice president launched her campaign,” it states.
