BELLEVILLE, Mich. (AP) — Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz is set to make his final major campaign appearance before the coming week’s debate at a football game between the University of Michigan and the University of Minnesota in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on Saturday.
Walz, the governor of Minnesota, planned to meet young voters on the college campus before the game’s afternoon kickoff. Walz has leaned into his background as a football coach and teacher while campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential bid, making multiple recent visits to university campuses to engage with students.
The visit comes before the debate Tuesday between Walz and Donald Trump’s running mate, Republican Sen. JD Vance of Ohio. After Saturday’s game, Walz will travel to northern Michigan for final debate prep before the faceoff, according to a source familiar with his plans who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private preparations.
