Vice President Kamala Harris is set to name her running mate soon, as the two embark this week on a seven-state swing of some of the biggest battleground states in the election.

This happens as former President Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick, Sen. JD Vance, are set to speak to voters through scheduled rallies and events through the week, too. Vance will also be visiting the same battleground states as Harris and her newly minted vice presidential pick.

Harris has secured enough Democratic Party delegate votes to become the party's nominee when voting ends on Monday evening, according to the Democratic National Committee. When the DNC announces the results of the virtual roll call Monday, Harris will officially be the party's nominee.

JD Vance to also give remarks in same states as Harris this week

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance is scheduled to give remarks in the same states on the same days as Vice President Kamala Harris this week, the Trump-Vance campaign announced, as Harris embarks on a battleground state tour.

Vance is scheduled to speak at noon ET in Philadelphia on Tuesday. The event comes as Harris is set to hold a rally with her yet-to-be-announced running mate Tuesday night in the city.

On Wednesday, he is scheduled to deliver remarks in the Detroit suburb of Shelby Township, Michigan, and Eau Claire, Wisconsin, as Harris also campaigns in those states then.

Then on Thursday, he is set to speak in Raleigh and Oakboro in North Carolina, aligning with Harris' scheduled visit to the state.

More than 10K people expected at Harris' Philly rally: Source

More than 10,000 people are expected to attend Harris' rally Tuesday night in Philadelphia, where she'll be joined by her new running mate, according to a source familiar with the plans.

That would make this the biggest event yet for the Harris campaign.

Harris is looking to build off her momentum. Pennsylvania kicks off her swing through seven battleground states in five days.

The pace of her campaign is in stark contrast to Trump's, which has only one rally scheduled this week -- in Montana on Friday.
