Kamala Harris and Donald Trump campaigns head to North Carolina, Wisconsin ahead of scheduled Pennsylvania appearances

Ahead of their scheduled appearances in Pennsylvania this weekend, Vice President Kamala Harris’ and former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaigns are slated to make stops in North Carolina and Wisconsin Friday.

Democrat Harris is expected to speak at a campaign event in Raleigh on Friday, marking her eighth visit to the state this year. Details for the event have not yet been announced, but Harris will reportedly focus on policy at the rally with the discussion centering on her administration’s plan to “lower costs for middle-class families and take on corporate price-gouging,” The Hill reports.

The stop makes up for the cancelation of a planned North Carolina last week, which was postponed due to the impacts of Tropical Storm Debby. It will also come following an expected appearance in Prince George’s County, Md. Thursday with President Joe Biden, which serves as Harris and Biden’s first campaign stop together since Biden announced he was dropping out of the presidential race last month.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, meanwhile, is continuing his first solo tour of five battleground states since being announced as Harris’ choice as her running mate.. Walz was slated to appear in Newport, R.I. and South Hampton, N.Y. Thursday.

The Harris-Walz ticket will then return to Pennsylvania Sunday for a bus tour in Pittsburgh that is scheduled to make several stops across the western portion of the Keystone State. That tour comes a day ahead of the start of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and will also feature appearances from second gentleman Doug Emhoff and Minnesota first lady Gwen Walz in a first for the campaign.

Trump, the Republican nominee, has no publicly announced campaign stops Friday, but his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R., Ohio) is slated to appear at a campaign event in Milwaukee. Vance’s Wisconsin appears comes following a Thursday stop in New Kensington, Pa., where he spoke at a VFW post.

While Trump had no events on the calendar Friday, he was expected Thursday to hold a news conference in New Jersey at his Bedminster golf club. That event was slated to begin at 4:30 p.m.

Trump will then return to Pennsylvania Saturday for a rally in Wilkes-Barre at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. That appearances marks his second in Pennsylvania since surviving an assassination attempt in Butler County on July 13. Trump previously held a rally in Harrisburg on July 31, two weeks after the shooting.

On Monday, Trump told Elon Musk in a conversation on X Spaces that he plans to return to Butler for another rally in October. In previous social media messaging, Trump said that the rally would honor Corey Comperatore, a former Buffalo Township fire chief who was killed in the July 13 assassination attempt, as well as two other people injured in the shooting.

Harris and Trump are also scheduled to debate one another Sept. 10 in an event hosted by ABC. Trump has said that the debate will take place at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, but its location and venue have not yet been confirmed, the network told The Inquirer.

Pennsylvania man charged after son brought loaded gun to school, DA says

A Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, man was charged after his son went to school with his loaded gun, the Chester County District Attorney’s Office said Monday.

The DA’s office said Russell Matthews, 58, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and recklessly endangering the welfare of a child.

East Pikeland Township Police responded to Hares Hill Elementary School on Monday at around 12:15 p.m. for the report of a student who brought a handgun to school.

At school, the student noticed the handgun inside their backpack and told a school counselor, according to the DA’s office. The student told officials that he recognized it and that it belonged to his father. The semiautomatic handgun was loaded with five rounds of ammunition, the DA’s office said.

Matthews told police that he put the gun in the wrong backpack, the DA’s office said.

Nobody was injured during the incident.

“We are grateful to the school officials and the East Pikeland Township Police Department who worked quickly to ensure that [Hares] Hill Elementary School is safe again,” Chester County District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe said in a statement.
