Tim Walz to campaign in Vegas this weekend

Minnesota Gov. and Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz will campaign in Las Vegas this weekend to encourage people to make a plan to vote early, his campaign announced Tuesday.

Walz will visit both Nevada and Arizona for the Harris-Walz campaign as voting is underway in both of the states, according to his campaign. The governor is expected to first visit Arizona on Saturday and then hold campaign events in Las Vegas on Sunday.

His third visit to Las Vegas as the Democratic vice presidential candidate will come one week into early voting, and a little more than a week before the Nov. 5 election. Candidates and their surrogates across the aisle have made repeat visits to the Silver State, a key battleground state whose six electoral votes could determine who wins the presidency.

The presidential race is neck-in-neck in Nevada, a state that has voted for a Democrat for president since 2008 but with close margins.

Walz will join the campaign’s “Fighting for Reproductive Freedom” bus tour in Las Vegas and will be joined by Kaitlyn Joshua, who had a miscarriage in Louisiana and was turned away from two emergency rooms, according to the campaign.
