Harris to start marketing campaign live performance sequence in Georgia, with Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen
Vice President Kamala Harris is ready to carry a marketing campaign occasion Thursday in Georgia, which former President Barack Obama and the singer Bruce Springsteen will even attend.
Springsteen’s involvement marks the primary of a number of live shows happening alongside Harris’ marketing campaign path, that are a part of a sequence her marketing campaign has referred to as “When We Vote We Win.” The sequence will contact all seven battleground states, beginning in Atlanta and transferring subsequent to Philadelphia on Monday. Obama and Springsteen are each set to look at Monday’s occasion, too, a senior marketing campaign official informed CBS New Philadelphia.
GOP former Rep. Fred Upton backs Harris
Former Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan, one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump before retiring in 2022, told The Detroit News on Thursday that he’s backing Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
Upton, who represented Michigan for more than three decades in the House and worked alongside Walz, said Trump is “totally unhinged.”
“We don’t need this chaos,” he told The Detroit News. “We need to move forward, and that’s why I’m where I am.”
Upton also told The New York Times that he cast his ballot for Harris, noting that it marked the first time he has supported a Democrat for president.
Harris addresses immigration, the Middle East conflict and how her policies differ from President Biden’s
Vice President Kamala Harris shared where she stands on key political issues at her CNN town hall on Wednesday night, with her positions on immigration and the United States’ approach to conflict in the Middle East being some of the event’s most notable takeaways. Harris also assured her administration would take a different approach to policies than the current one under President Biden, although she did not offer many specifics.
Moderator Anderson Cooper pressed Harris on her views about immigration, an issue that has recurred in Republican attacks on her presidential campaign. Harris criticized the border wall proposed by former President Donald Trump during his time in office but did not respond directly when asked if she supports continuing that project now.
“I want to strengthen our border,” she said, pledging to push through a bipartisan bill focused on border security, which calls for $650 million initially earmarked under Trump.
Harris also commented on war in the Middle East, after an undecided voter asked how she plans to protect Palestinian civilians. The Democratic nominee called the death toll “unconscionable” and said she believes there is an opportunity to end Israel’s war with Hamas now that Yahya Sinwar has been killed.
As for how her policies would deviate from President Biden’s, Harris said she embodies “a new generation of leadership” in this country.
“My administration will not be a continuation of the Biden administration,” she said. “I will bring to this role my own ideas and my own experience.”
