Former President Donald Trump returned to Pennsylvania today, this time speaking to supporters in scenic Wilkes-Barre. The rally is\u00a0Trump\u2019s second<\/a>\u00a0in the Keystone State since the\u00a0attempt on his life<\/a>\u00a0in Butler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u00a0is in play for both campaigns<\/a>\u00a0despite Nebraska\u2019s status as a red state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walz\u2019s swing through Nebraska is one of the final rallies the Harris campaign will hold ahead of the Democratic National Convention, an event set to\u00a0feature remarks<\/a>\u00a0by President Joe Biden, former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,\u00a0first lady Jill Biden<\/a>\u00a0and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. NBC News\u2019 Vaughn Hillyard is on the campaign trail in Pennsylvania covering the latest Trump rally in the battleground state as well as the plans for the upcoming Democratic National Convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If they could vote for her, they would. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people of Thulasendrapuram, a village in southern India that calls\u00a0Kamala Harris<\/a>\u00a0its own, knew little about her until she became the U.S. vice president. Now they display banners of Harris, whose maternal grandparents were born in the village, and are planning celebrations for if and when the\u00a0Democratic nominee<\/a>\u00a0wins the presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s Allie Raffa reports for TODAY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
