The Harris campaign is kicking off a “weekend of action” ahead of the Democratic National Convention as they seek to court voters in swing states.
More than 2,800 events will be held across key battleground states including “Kallin’ for Kamala” phone banks, canvas kickoffs, trivia nights, Project 2025 message trainings and “Hound Lovers for Harris” meetups at dog parks. Organizing booths will also be stationed at cultural events including Wisconsin’s Africa Fest and the Puerto Rican Family Festival in Milwaukee.
The campaign says more than 10,000 volunteers will barnstorm swing states in an effort to mobilize voters through door-knocking and making phone calls. Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal and Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell are among several Democratic surrogates who are expected to hit the trail this weekend to rally support for the Harris-Walz ticket.
“Vice President Harris, Governor Walz, and tens of thousands of grassroots supporters are putting their energy to work on the ground in the battlegrounds as we head into the Democratic National Convention,” Harris-Walz Battleground States Director Dan Kanninen said in a statement.
The campaign touted their ground infrastructure with 280 offices and 1600+ staff, and criticized former President Donald Trump for “holding desperate press conference after desperate press conference to try and steal attention.”
“The Trump-Vance ticket is spiraling while the Harris-Walz campaign is doing what’s needed to break through, reach voters and win a close election this November,” the press release said.
