Travels of Sen. Kamala Harris—October 2020
President Donald J. Trump | Vice President Mike Pence || Former Vice President Joe Biden | Sen. Kamala Harris
Campaigning in the time of COVID. The first week was devoted to debate prep. including five full days in Salt Lake City culminating with the debate on Oct. 7. On Oct. 12 the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, of which Harris is a member, started hearings to consider the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett. On Oct. 15 the campaign postponed several events after a staffer tested positive. As a result of these happenings, Harris spent very little time on the campaign trail in the first part of the month. One highlight was Oct. 8 when Biden and Harris did joint events in Phoenix, including a modest bus tour. In the latter part of the month Harris has done drive-in events and small outdoor events, fitting in unannounced stops at local businesses. She also did 14 virtual fundraising events during the month. By State. @KamalaHarris | @DouglasEmhoff
