Harris is set to campaign in the Lone Star State on Friday alongside Democratic Senate candidate Colin Allred.
Vice President Kamala Harris will hold a campaign rally this week in Houston, home to a state where she trails former President Donald Trump in the race for the Oval Office, according to recent polls.
Harris’ campaign announced she will hold a rally alongside Democratic Senate candidate Colin Allred in Houston on Friday. Democrats have had their eyes on the Lone Star State, hoping that dwindling Republican margins could make it competitive in 2024. But as only razor-thin margins separate Harris and Trump in battleground states, Trump has carved out a stronger lead in Texas.
The event will be Harris’ first trip to Texas since she replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee in late July. Democrats are hoping her appearance can energize voters across the state and help catapult Allred to victory in his race against Republican Senator Ted Cruz, who has seen a smaller lead than Trump.
