Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign visits to North Carolina and Pennsylvania on Thursday and Friday, respectively, mark the beginning of a "more intensive" campaigning phase, her campaign announced.
Harris is set to hold two rallies in North Carolina and one in Pennsylvania as part of the kickoff for her "New Way Forward Tour," which her campaign said is an effort to "capitalize on her decisive victory" against former President Donald Trump at the
debate.
The campaign emphasized that Harris's debate performance was so impactful that they spent Wednesday analyzing the footage to find key moments for upcoming advertisements.
This next phase will also include increased media appearances by the vice president, primarily targeting swing states and important voter groups, the campaign stated. Local media interviews are scheduled for the coming days, and she will also participate in a discussion with the National Association of Black Journalists next week.
