Harris visiting Pittsburgh for concert and rally on eve of Election Day
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Vice President Kamala Harris is visiting Pittsburgh for a concert and campaign rally on the eve of Election Day.
According to text messages from the Harris-Walz campaign, the vice president will hold a Get Out The Vote concert at Point State Park on Monday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. She'll hold a similar rally in Philadelphia from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
However, as of Saturday evening, the Harris campaign announced they would be moving the concert from Point State Park to a different location - as of Sunday afternoon, the location has yet to be announced.
The campaign announced that performers D-Nice, Katy Perry, and Andra Day would be in attendance in Pittsburgh.
On Monday night, Harris' campaign put on a concert in Philadelphia featuring Bruce Springsteen, John Legend, and Barack Obama.
Harris was last in Pittsburgh in September to push her economic plan, and before that, she spent several days in Pittsburgh preparing for the presidential debate.
A statement from the Harris-Walz campaign shed light on the importance of these musical acts and celebrities throwing their support behind the vice president's campaign.
"These artists and public figures are trusted voices for millions of Americans, who listen to their music, follow them on social media, or otherwise are inspired by them. The Harris-Walz campaign believes that by using their voices to lay out the stakes of this election, it will further encourage and mobilize people to go vote."
Trump also visiting Pittsburgh on Monday
Former President Donald Trump will hold a rally on Monday at PPG Paints Arena, according to a campaign email. Doors for Trump's event open at 2 p.m., with the former president scheduled to speak around 6 p.m.
A spokesperson for the Trump campaign also made clear the former president's agenda, saying his campaign would fix the perceived mistakes of the Biden presidency.
"This election is a choice between another four years of rising prices, unlimited illegal immigration, and endless wars under a Kamala presidency or a return to the peace, prosperity, and stability of the first Trump administration. Kamala broke it, but President Trump will fix it."
Trump was recently in the Pittsburgh area, holding a rally at the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe before watching the Steelers-Jets game at Acrisure Stadium.
Candidates vie for Pennsylvania's votes
Harris and Trump are battling for the Keystone State's 19 electoral votes. They have both made several stops across the state, which Gov. Josh Shapiro has called "the swingiest of all swing states."
CBS News' Battleground Tracker shows the race in Pennsylvania effectively tied. The state is part of the Democrats' "blue wall" along with Michigan and Wisconsin and is considered crucial for the party's path to the White House.
Polls in Pennsylvania will open Nov. 5 at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.
