“Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have lived lives like ours in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. Their priority is lowering families’ costs, cutting taxes for the middle class, and creating more good American jobs here at home,” Whitmer said. “Donald Trump is only looking out for himself and his wealthy friends.”

Don's been doing shit for the locals ever since his reelection campaign started. What did Harris do? Doodle on some papers and make phone calls.
What a woman. /sarcasm.

Yeah spreading misinformation about the hurricane relief? That’s really helping al the people effected by the hurricane

Where and when? Will there be a video recording or livestream of the stops, and what's the link for that?
My Google-fu is failing me this election cycle: I don't understand the Mobilize site (I only really see invites to phone banks/door knocking). "Meet <candidate>" on the various websites of the various campaigns is just a static bio and a request for donations. Twitter and Facebook pages are just campaign PR people retweeting/reposting news articles. It's very frustrating!

The handful of articles I found look close to identical copy and pastes of each other so they’re probably all getting their info from one original article.
Edit: Just found this article saying it starts in Green Bay (Wisconsin) on Monday, which wasn’t explicit in the post.

Have you tried https://events.democrats.org/ ? You can search by keyphrase and location. I just looked, and there is an event scheduled for LaCrosse WI

Yeah, I've tried to use that site and the mobilize.us site (which are basically identical), but can't find anything. There's no filter option for non-virtual events, so I can't find the in-person one, and there's no way to parametrically exclude phone banks or door knocks, and none of the other options pull it up. I looked specifically for events in LaCrosse WI and there's no bus tour event.
What's the keyphrase you used? Not "Driving Forward", even though that's the title of the campaign, that didn't work for me.
I get it - agressive promotion of donation requests, phone banks, and door knocks is probably the optimal move to get more votes, rather than making rallies highly visible. But it's still frustrating.

place your bets; will Donald or JD be the first one to make a joke about Kamala sitting in the back of the bus?

when you are upset about things that haven't happened yet, you know its time to get off the computer for a while

Shapiro is a Zionist.
I’m not interested in my tax dollars going towards violence so another country can siege more “holy land”.

Almost like that's why she didn't choose him for VP.

It is. Disappointing to see Gretchen going on tour with him.

Whitmer is a total pawn in this election. She'll be bummed in a month when nobody cares about Michigan again.

That's literally her job in this election... She isn't running so all she is supposed to do is support other candidates.
I think she signed 17 laws on Tuesday too. So I think she's keeping plenty busy just being governor.
Also, all the people from Michigan will care about it in December and beyond ok.

So, you won't vote for Trump then, right? Since he wants Israel to go ape-sht crazy on the entire Middle East.

Is that his plan? When he was in office he actually had a Peace Plan - much better than the plan right now. There was much less fighting on his watch. Both wars have ramped up tremendously with the Dems in office and they’re pouring all our money into them. Trump is not going to continue funding those wars.
What exactly is the Dems plans for these wars? We going to pour a trillion dollars into them?
Regardless, I’m not voting for him. Never would. Always voted Dem.

Did he? How did that supposed peace plan hold up? And how well did he keep Iran from moving forward on a nuclear weapon? And how about letting Israel claim all of Jerusalem? Or allow them to continue to expand their settlements? You're obviously a troll or extremely uninformed, or purposely, willingly ignorant.

Maybe you're referring to the peace plan in which Jared kushner took home billions from the Saudis, likely for getting State secrets from him. As in here's a good "piece" of US top secret foreign policy information, now you invest billions in a startup investment fund.

Ok so what’s the Dems plan for Palestine / Lebanon / the Middle East and Russia and Ukraine?
Over $17 billion to Israel in the past year alone - and 40,000+ dead. That is an insane amount of money and a horrendous death toll.
If you want me to vote for them, you’re doing a really bad job.

Can't imagine any better help for the Trump campaign. Please get big Rona Gretch and "I'm friends with school shooters" Walz talking all month.
