Tim Walz returning to Arizona for more campaigning

With former President Donald Trump narrowly leading in public polls, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is headed back to Arizona to stump for Vice President Kamala Harris in the final weeks of the presidential race.

Walz will campaign Saturday in Arizona. His campaign did not say where the Democratic nominee for vice president will appear in the state.

Walz has been to Arizona several times since he joined the ticket in August. Most recently, Walz spoke at a VFW hall with Democratic Senate candidate Ruben Gallego and visited the Gila River Indian Community during an Arizona swing two weeks ago.

Walz and Harris have each cast their campaign as the “underdogs” in Arizona, where Biden narrowly beat Trump four years ago. Now, Harris is behind Trump by roughly three percentage points in the latest public polls, and new voter registration data show that the GOP has grown its advantage since the last election four years ago.

Early voting has been underway in Arizona for nearly two weeks, and top supporters for both campaigns are spending time in the state to get out the vote.

On Wednesday, former President Bill Clinton will be in Arizona to promote the Harris-Walz ticket and Donald Trump Jr. will stump for his father in Queen Creek.

President Joe Biden will arrive in Arizona on Thursday ahead of his first presidential visit to the Gila River Indian Community on Friday.

October has been a busy month on the Arizona campaign trail. Trump rallied supporters in Prescott Valley last weekend and Harris was in Arizona earlier this month for a two-day swing through the Gila River Indian Community, Scottsdale and Phoenix.

Former President Barack Obama stumped for Harris in Tucson on Friday, while billionaire “Shark Tank” TV star Mark Cuban held a town hall for Black and Latino small business owners in Phoenix on Saturday.
