Vice President Kamala Harris is locked in a close race against former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, according to polls ahead of her rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
The crucial battleground state has been chosen as the location for her first big public event following the announcement of her running mate in the 2024 presidential election.
Democrats view Pennsylvania as a critical state for Harris. Although she could win the election without it, Pennsylvania's 19 Electoral College votes would give her a much easier path to the 270 needed to defeat former President Donald Trump.
The state is roughly divided between Democrats and Republicans, backing Trump in 2016 but flipping back to Democrats to support President Joe Biden in 2020.
Harris emerged as the Democratic presidential nominee after Biden withdrew from the race last month amid pressure from Democrats concerned about polls showing Trump leading key states, including Pennsylvania. Biden's poll numbers slipped following his debate against Trump in June, which fueled concerns about his age and ability to win in November.
