Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the running mate of Vice President Kamala Harris, held an event in Omaha in an effort to capitalize on a peculiarity of the Electoral College. Because Nebraska divides its electoral votes by statewide outcome and by the vote at the congressional district level, the lone vote represented by the urban district that encompasses Omaha is in play for both campaigns despite Nebraska’s status as a red state.
Walz’s swing through Nebraska is one of the final rallies the Harris campaign will hold ahead of the Democratic National Convention, an event set to feature remarks by President Joe Biden, former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, first lady Jill Biden and others.
A new poll shows Vice President Kamala Harris gaining ground on or surpassing former President Donald Trump in Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada, and Georgia compared to where President Biden had been in the same survey.

Biden is scheduled to speak at the Democratic National Convention Monday night after dropping out of the presidential race back in July. His speech is expected to be a passing of the torch to the next generation. NBC’s Allie Raffa reports for TODAY.
