CBSN
Across battleground states, over 2,800 Kamala Harris organizing events are taking shape: A "Hound Lovers for Harris" meetup at a dog park in Van Buren Charter Township, Michigan, an organizing booth at Wisconsin's Africa Fest in Madison, Wisconsin, and "Kallin' for Kamala" phone banks in Fulton County, Georgia.
They're all scheduled for the weekend leading up to the Democratic convention in Chicago, as the campaign is banking on its "relational organizing model" to maintain the party's enthusiasm, which began with her entry into the race about a month ago.
The Democratic ticket's weekend of action, details of which were first shared with CBS News, will also feature a bus tour with Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, in Western Pennsylvania.
Los Angeles firefighters have made progress containing wildfires that have claimed at least 10 lives and caused unprecedented damage. In the weeks ahead, officials and residents will examine whether local authorities' warnings and early responses adequately prepared the city for the escalating crisis.
