AP: Harris won't visit PA tomorrow, Walz & Fetterman to appear

The vice president will instead tour damage caused by Hurricane Helene in Georgia on Wednesday. Her running mate is still scheduled to appear across Central Pa.

YORK, Pa. — Note: The video is from Sept. 30.

Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is not coming to Central Pennsylvania on Wednesday as previously scheduled, according to multiple reports.

The Associated Press said Harris will instead tour damage caused by Hurricane Helene in Georgia and North Carolina. 

Harris' running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, will still appear in Central Pa. along with Senator John Fetterman, the AP said.

Harris and Walz had been scheduled to take a bus tour across Pennsylvania on Wednesday. 

According to the Harris/Walz campaign, Walz's bus tour will make stops in Harrisburg, Reading and York, where he will be joined by Fetterman. 

Walz is expected to arrive at HIA in Middletown around 2 p.m. to greet supporters and local leaders. At 3 p.m., Walz is slated to travel to York to deliver remarks at a Harris-Walz campaign rally with Pa. Senator John Fetterman. 

Gov. Walz is expected to join a political engagement in York as well. 

The Minnesota governor will then join a political engagement with Latino leaders in Reading to end the bus tour.

It will be Walz's first campaign event since his vice presidential debate with Republican JD Vance, which is scheduled for Tuesday night.

The Democratic nominee plans to visit Georgia on Wednesday and survey the devastation in North Carolina in the coming days, according to aides who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the travel plans. 

Harris' team has been working to coordinate her plans to avoid impacting local disaster response efforts, according to the AP.

After Georgia, Harris plans to continue with scheduled campaign visits to Wisconsin and Michigan later this week, with the North Carolina trip coming sometime after that.

President Joe Biden will visit North Carolina on Wednesday, checking out the worst damage in the Asheville area by helicopter to avoid tying up local resources.

Republican nominee Donald Trump visited Georgia on Monday, where he spread falsehoods about the federal response to the storm despite claiming not to be politicizing the disaster, according to the AP.
