Democratic VP nominee Tim Walz coming to Louisville to raise money for Harris campaign
Republished from Kentucky Lantern
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will make a stop in Louisville Wednesday for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign fund.
According to an advisory from the Harris-Walz campaign, Walz will deliver remarks at a campaign reception for the Harris Victory Fund, the campaign’s PAC.
In recent years, Walz has been a political ally of Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear. Walz attended Beshear’s 2023 inauguration in Frankfort. Both were considered as a possible running mate for Harris this summer.
Walz’s Kentucky stop comes with two weeks left for the presidential candidates to campaign ahead of Election Day, Nov. 5. Meanwhile, both Harris and former Republican President Donald Trump are campaigning in battleground states to sway voters.
Walz is not the first this cycle to make a fundraising stop in Kentucky. Trump’s running mate, U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, attended a Lexington reception hosted by U.S. Rep. Andy Barr in August.
Kentucky’s eight electoral votes are likely Trump’s to win this November. Trump won Kentucky in 2016 and 2020.
