JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, will stop in South Philadelphia on Tuesday, the same day that Kamala Harris is expected to formally introduce her running mate in North Philly.
Vance will appear at noon at the 2300 Arena, at Ritner and Swanson streets, which seats 2,000 people, the Inquirer first reported. It will be the Ohio senator's first appearance in Pennsylvania since he was named as Donald Trump's running mate.
Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, will host a rally at Temple University's Liacouras Center, which seats 10,000. That event is scheduled for 5-9 p.m. and includes a "special guest," expected to be her yet-to-be-named vice presidential nominee.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is one of five contenders to be her running mate. After canceling appearances at fundraising events in New York over the weekend, Shapiro and other contenders reportedly met with Harris at her home in Washington on Sunday.
A candidate must be selected before the Democratic National Convention begins Aug. 19 in Chicago.
Pennsylvania is considered a key swing state, so expect both campaigns to pop up in the area until Election Day.
In July, Trump confirmed that Vance would remain in Pennsylvania for an extended period of time in hopes that his Rust Belt roots would appeal to the state's voters. Harris already has made several appearances in the state this year, including a rally at Girard College back in May, when President Joe Biden was still running for reelection.
