What's happening on the campaign trail today
- Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, held their first sit-down interview since the start of their campaign on CNN. Harris defended her economic policies, including those of the Biden administration, but promised to do more to improve affordability for middle-class Americans and to appoint a Republican to her Cabinet if she's elected.
- Former President Donald Trump said in an interview with NBC News before his rally in Potterville, Michigan, that he would protect access to IVF treatments if elected.
- Harris held a rally in Savannah, capping a two-day bus tour of southeastern Georgia. While Harris sees an opening in the battleground state, Trump is working hard to put it back in the GOP column, even repairing his long-standing feud with the state's popular Republican governor.
- Both running mates also hit the campaign trail. Walz spoke in Raleigh, North Carolina, while Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance addressed a convention of first responders in Boston, where he drew a mix of cheers and boos.
