A ONE-TWO PUNCH — With 18 days left until Election Day, VP KAMALA HARRIS will be hitting the road with the two most popular members of her party: BARACK and MICHELLE OBAMA.
A senior Harris campaign official says that two separate events are set for next week. Harris and the former president will rally together in Georgia on Thursday. The former first lady and Harris will be together in Michigan on Saturday. Both events will be held at early-voting sites.
This will be the first time Harris appears with either during the election — and it’s also the first time Mrs. Obama has hit the road for the Harris campaign.
WATCH THIS SPACE — “Trump World in Talks With Haley for 11th Hour Joint Campaign Event,” by The Bulwark’s Marc Caputo: “The details and dates for the joint appearance haven’t been fully worked out, but the likeliest scenario would put [DONALD TRUMP and NIKKI HALEY] together at a town hall toward the end of the month, perhaps involving Fox News personality SEAN HANNITY.”
NO SHADE — Recently, it’s become something of a pattern: Trump is scheduled for an interview with a neutral media outlet, the date nears and then … things fall apart.
It happened just this week to planned Trump sit-downs with NBC in Philadelphia and CNBC’s “Squawk Box” — and that’s on the heels of him backing out of a “60 Minutes” episode earlier this month.
