Cities from Arizona to Michigan can be expected to bounce back under a new Democratic price tag in the coming days.
Overall, Vice President Kamala Harris is visiting seven swing states as she campaigns for president, with a total of electoral votes up for grabs.
The first stop? A nighttime demonstration in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Former President Donald Trump also continues to travel. The crusade’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, told Scripps News that Trump’s crusade would thwart Harris’ tour of swing states.
“President Trump and Senator [J. D. ] Vance have been invading the country for months. And our strategy will remain the same. President Trump will continue to take each and every state off the battlefield,” Leavitt said.
This will come with at least a non-oscillating state.
Trump will hold a crusade in Montana on Friday. Although he is expected to win Montana by a wide margin, his scale is a sign of the importance of the state Senate race. Current Democratic Senator Jon Tester is one of the most vulnerable Democrats in the country.
And if tracking presidential travel is one way to gauge the state of the race, tracking cash is another.
Harris announced that she had raised $310 million in July. Trump raised $138 million that month.
An attractive place where money is spent on television during Harris’ campaign is the conservative-leaning state of Nebraska.
Nebraska awards votes to electoral schools based on effects in the congressional district. That’s why Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff campaigned there last month.
“We don’t take anything for granted and we’re going to fight for this electoral vote here in NE 2,” Emhoff told Scripps News Omaha, referring to the state’s second congressional district.
As for the Trump campaign, more money is also being spent, adding to the first circular of offensive classified ads opposed to Harris. And since his criminal trials tend to stall, Trump’s allies are spending less on legal fees.
An Associated Press investigation found that a Trump-aligned super PAC spent less than $1 million on legal fees in June, the first time in just two years that the organization spent less than seven figures defending the former president.
