Harris heads to suburbs in 3 critical battleground states Monday

Kamala Harris is heading to the suburbs in three critical battleground states on Monday to court Republican voters uneasy about Donald Trump.

The vice president will be having moderated conversations with Republican Liz Cheney in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. With just over two weeks to go before the presidential election and the race a dead heat, the Democratic nominee is looking for support from every possible voter.

Her campaign is hoping to persuade those who haven't made up their minds, mobilize any Democrats considering sitting this one out, and pick off voters in areas where support for Trump may be fading.

Harris will be back in Pennsylvania on Wednesday for a town hall in Delaware County, where she will take voter questions.
