Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are presenting contrasting views as they engage with voters during the campaign. Harris is focusing on promoting “joy” and portraying the Democratic ticket, which includes her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, as “joyful warriors.”
In contrast, Trump is painting a more pessimistic picture for Republicans, expressing concerns about the future at a recent news conference.
Voters can expect to hear more from both candidates and their running mates in the coming days.
Walz is scheduled to participate in his first solo events this week, starting with a trip to Los Angeles to address the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees convention on Tuesday, followed by fundraisers in various locations.
Meanwhile, Trump is planning a live interview on X, the social platform from which he was previously banned, following the events at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Walz to hold first solo events as Harris’ running mate
Tim Walz is embarking on his first solo events as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, beginning with a trip to Los Angeles to speak at the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees convention, followed by fundraising events in multiple states.
After his appearance in Los Angeles, the Minnesota governor will visit five states over three days, starting with a fundraiser in Newport Beach, California.
He will also headline fundraisers in Denver and Boston on Wednesday. Additional fundraising events are scheduled in Newport, Rhode Island, and Southampton, New York the following day.
Harris introduced Walz as her running mate at a joint rally in Philadelphia last week, with the two subsequently campaigning together in several states. Harris is expected to campaign with Biden in Maryland this week and reveal her policy proposals on the economy.
