Harris campaign encourages early voting among swing state college students
The Harris-Walz campaign continues to court young voters, announcing a college campus tour in swing states intended to promote early voting.
“This week, Team Harris-Walz is launching the ‘Vote for Our Future’ early vote college campus tour to mobilize young voters on college campuses across battleground states, encouraging them to make their voices heard, register to vote, and vote early,” the campaign told ABC News.
Officially launched Friday, the early vote campus tour includes a new seven-figure targeted ad buy for battleground college students, as well as concerts, block parties, food and campaign merch.
In addition to second gentleman Doug Emhoff and Maya Harris hosting an early vote mobilization event and concert near the University of North Carolina campus Tuesday evening, Gov. Tim Walz will also visit Duke University in North Carolina on Thursday, the campaign said.
Additional events at Michigan State University, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and University of Michigan are scheduled for this week.
These efforts are coupled with a seven-figure ad buy that targets students in battleground states through social media ads and out-of-home ads on campuses, the campaign said.
On Wednesday, the DNC also announced an expansive, mid-six-figure ad campaign targeting young voters on college campuses across battleground states and directing them to IWillVote.com, according to a press release.
