This week, many Americans will be glued to their screens as Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump face off in what likely will be their only debate before the Nov. 5 presidential election.
In swing state Arizona — where all the polls say the race is close — we get to experience the campaign in person as well as on our favorite devices.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Harris’ running mate, will make his first solo visit to Arizona on Tuesday. He will begin his day in Nevada and then fly into Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix for an afternoon of campaigning. He’ll speak at a 5:30 p.m. event, minutes before the debate is set to begin.
On Thursday, Trump is scheduled to appear in Tucson for an afternoon speech focused on the economy and the high cost of housing. The Harris-Walz campaign announced that second gentleman Douglas Emhoff also is going to Tucson on Thursday.
Follow coverage from Republic reporters of the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump Tuesday as well as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s campaign visit to Arizona.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz made his first public stop at Snakes & Lattes, a cafe in Tempe where patrons can play board games.
Walz appealed to young voters during the retail campaign stop. He warned against Project 2025, the conservative policy proposal, focusing on abortion rights in particular.
He thanked young people for being engaged enough with the election to come see him in Tempe, and said they can change politics for the better.
“Do not underestimate the power you have,” Walz said.
Walz sought to draw a sharp contrast between Republicans and Democrats on issues including climate change and abortion.
“We are not the same,” Walz said. “There’s a very big difference on this.
Walz also offered a “pro tip” for Republican Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio: “Shut the hell up about talking about women.”

Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ running mate, delivers speech at DNC
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz addressed the middle class with affordable housing, lowering taxes and drug costs in his DNC speech. How he did.
The Kamala Harris-Donald Trump debate will take place at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, in the heart of Center City. It’s located across from Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and other significant sites at Independence National Historical Park.
The National Constitution Center is a private, nonprofit and nonpartisan organization that opened July 4, 2003. It offers interactive exhibits and programs centered around the Constitution, government and civics. It hosts regular discussions that bring people from across the political spectrum together and offers a variety of online educational resources (including a blog post about presidential debates).
The center was established by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 with the Constitution Heritage Act, which called for an institution that “shall disseminate information about the United States Constitution on a nonpartisan basis in order to increase awareness and understanding of the Constitution among the American people,” its website says.
Its Signers’ Hall features 42 life-size bronze statues of the men who signed the Constitution, including Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton.
Its current exhibitions include “We The People,” an in-depth exploration of the U.S. Constitution; “American Treasures: Documenting the Nation’s Founding”; “Civil War and Reconstruction: The Battle for Freedom and Equality”; “Continuing Liberty: From the Declaration to the Bill of Rights”; and “The 19th Amendment: How Women Won the Right to Vote.”

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz started his day in Nevada and was expected to arrive around noon at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix for an afternoon of campaigning.
Kamala Harris’ running mate choosing to spend his pre-debate hours in Arizona shows just how crucial the battleground state is for both presidential campaigns. Polls have tightened since Harris replaced President Joe Biden at the top of the ticket. Trump and his running mate JD Vance have also visited the state in recent weeks.
Walz will participate in “political engagements” throughout the day. Later, he’ll speak at a 5:30 p.m. event, just 30 minutes before the debate is set to begin.
“Grey’s Anatomy” and “Emily in Paris” actor Kate Walsh, who grew up in Tucson and studied acting at Arizona State University, also will be on the Arizona campaign trail Tuesday. She’s scheduled to appear at a “Women for Harris-Walz” event and attend a debate night watch party.

While the debate will likely cover many topics, immigration and border security are guaranteed to rise to the top of the list.
After several controversies in recent weeks, Trump has shifted back to the border as his main attack against Harris, whom he blames for security challenges at the southern border. He visited the Arizona-Mexico border last month, and his running mate Sen. JD Vance, R-Ariz., campaigned Wednesday in Mesa on immigration issues.
The debate will be a chance for Harris to articulate her positions on immigration and the border and to defend herself from Republican attacks. She supported a bipartisan border deal negotiated in part by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., and accuses Trump of bashing the deal for political gain in the election cycle.
Here are five key areas within immigration and border enforcement that could come up during the debate.

When the history of the 2024 presidential election is written, the one and only debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump will be remembered as the event that truly changed the course of the race.
A few weeks after Biden’s disastrous performance, he dropped out, and Kamala Harris stepped in as the Democratic nominee. This week, the second debate of the presidential contest will take place, this time between Harris and Trump. The stakes are high for both candidates; polls show a close race with just two months left until Election Day.
For Harris, Tuesday’s debate in Philadelphia will provide a chance to show she can stand up to Trump and introduce herself to voters who feel they know little about her. For Trump, the debate is an opportunity to define Harris on his terms and try to regain some of the momentum he lost to her after the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
