Barack Obama will launch a get-out-the-vote tour for Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris in Pittsburgh on Thursday evening with a speech at the University of Pittsburgh’s Fitzgerald Field House.
Mr. Obama’s visit occurs as polls show the race is a statistical tie in the Keystone State, with all results within the margin of error.
Both Ms. Harris and the Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump — with their running mates and surrogates — have been barnstorming Pennsylvania to court every voter they can in what is considered to be a critical swing state. Ms. Harris is expected to visit Erie on Monday for a rally, but no further details on that event were immediately available.
Pennsylvania, with 19 Electoral College votes, is the largest of the battleground states.
