Participants include Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and former congresswoman Gabby Giffords -- a gun violence prevention advocate whose husband, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, is said to be on Harris' shortlist for vice president.
Harris' husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, is also hitting the trail. Emhoff will appear at the Wausau Festival and lead a door-knocking event for Harris and Democrats in Stevens Point, Wisc.
The campaign has not said where Harris will be over the weekend. Harris' campaign said it would continue to target Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada and emphasize reaching out to young voters, Black voters, and Latino voters.
Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey and Nevada Sen. Jacky Rosen, two senators who are up for reelection this cycle, will be among those also making the case for Harris. Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chair Gary Peters of Michigan will also be on the trail.
Democratic House members participating in the effort include Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost, Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal and Michigan Reps. Debbie Dingell and Hillary Scholten, a frontline Democrat in a swing district.
Harris is also utilizing major reproductive rights backers such as Planned Parenthood President & CEO Alexis McGill Johnson on the trail this weekend.
This is what a presidential campaign reaching the 100 days until election pole should look like when attempting to engage voters in the energy emanating from this unforeseen shift in candidates and the electorate's pent up frustration and scepticism - now being released as joy, optimism, and anticipation of a victory heretofore thought improbable due to the former nominee's limitations and actual lack of political stamina for confronting strong electoral headwinds of their own creation.Curmudgeons like Carville can only react from what they've already seen occur in the past. There has been a shift in joy and momentum which needs to be ridden as far as it will take this campaign towards success on Election Day. You don't tell a candidate to tamper down the emotions and energy of its supporters as a campaign changes its leadership. You ride the wave for as long as it lasts while always being prepared to create your own momentum and fervor if the organic wave inevitably ends. One thing you don't do is tell all the excited people motivated by your candidacy to temper their positive energy and drive, ever.
