Today's campaign schedule: Harris and Walz travel to Wisconsin and Michigan as Vance also visits those states

From CNN's Samantha Waldenberg and Arit John  

Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, on Wednesday as she continues her battleground state tour with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

The vice president’s remarks in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, are expected at 1:20 p.m. CT (2:20 p.m. ET).

Harris is also expected to travel to battleground Michigan on Wednesday, where she will make remarks at a campaign event in Detroit at 6:40 p.m. ET.

Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, is also set to visit those states today as he makes his pitch to voters on behalf of the GOP ticket.

He will deliver remarks at 10 a.m. ET at a press event in Shelby Township, Michigan, which is a suburb of Detroit. He will then deliver remarks at a press event in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

CNN reported earlier this week that the Ohio senator is looking to veer attention away from the launch of the Democratic ticket with a series of events in the same cities and states as his opponents. He also visited Philadelphia yesterday hours before Harris and Walz held their rally in the city.

Vance’s tour comes as he seeks to reintroduce himself to the American public after his initial rollout as Trump’s running mate was bogged down by his past comments disparaging women and elected officials who don’t have children. It also offers him a chance to divert attention away from Harris, who is embarking on a new phase of her two-week-old campaign and seeking to maintain momentum. 

Trump participated in an interview on Fox News this morning and is not on the campaign trail today.
