Walz to travel to Kentucky, North Carolina and Pennsylvania later this week

After Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz campaigns in Wisconsin on Tuesday (where he'll be joined by former President Barack Obama for a rally in Madison), he'll remain out on the trail this week.

On Wednesday, Walz will speak at an evening fundraiser in Louisville, Kentucky.

On Thursday, he will spend the morning making political stops in Durham, North Carolina -- just a week after he visited the city with former President Bill Clinton. He'll then make local stops in Greenville, North Carolina, in the afternoon and hold a rally in Wilmington that night.

On Friday, Walz will campaign in Philadelphia, where he'll speak at a fundraiser in the city around noon.

Trump pushes false claims that Democrats are trying to cheat in election

Rallying in Greenville, North Carolina, on Monday, Trump launched baseless claims about possible fraud in the 2024 election -- despite earlier in the day saying he hadn't seen evidence of it.

At one point during the rally, Trump turned to Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley to ask him about election security.

"He'll stop the cheating. He's going to stop the cheating," Trump said to Whatley. "Are they cheating? Michael, they're trying, but are they? They're not going to get away with it, right? ... They got away with it in plenty of places."

Earlier in Asheville, North Carolina, Trump told his supporters that he hasn't seen any evidence of cheating in the election thus far, but added, "I know the other side and they are not good."

Harris works to earn Pennsylvania's Republican votes alongside Liz Cheney

Vice President Kamala Harris speaks with former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney listen during a town hall at The People's Light in Malvern, Pa., Monday, Oct. 21, 2024.
Vice President Kamala Harris speaks with former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney listen during a town hall at The People's Light in Malvern, Pa., Monday, Oct. 21, 2024.

Harris is doing a series of moderated conversations with former Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney in suburban cities in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin on Monday.

While in Pennsylvania, Harris and Cheney worked to pick off Republicans disaffected with their party's nominee who may vote for the vice president and focus on the dangers Trump poses to the country and to democracy.

"There are months in the history of our country which challenge us, each of us, to really decide when we stand for those things that we talk about, including, in particular, country over party," Harris said.

Cheney, a staunch Trump critic who endorsed Harris in September despite their party and policy differences, said "every single thing in my experience and in my background has played a part" in her supporting Harris.

"In this race, we have the opportunity to vote for and support somebody you can count on. We're not always going to agree, but I know Vice President Harris will always do what she believes is right for this country. She has a sincere heart, and that's why I'm honored to be in this place."
