Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz will hit the campaign trail in key battleground states on Sunday in a push to mobilize Black voters to vote early, according to the campaign.

Harris will attend a church service at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, before going to a “Souls to the Polls” event. The vice president will also participate in a sit-down interview with Rev. Al Sharpton which will air on MSNBC at 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Walz is set to attend a church service at Victorious Believers Ministries in Saginaw, Michigan.

As part of the campaign’s latest Black voter outreach, “Souls to the Polls” was launched last Sunday with a national call featuring gospel performances, national and state faith leaders, senior elected officials and surrogates. The effort is led by a National Advisory Board of Black Faith Leaders who will crisscross across key swing states as an all-hands-on-deck effort.

Member of the Congressional Black Caucus will also campaign across battleground states to urge the key voting bloc to vote ahead of Election Day.

Democratic governors join rally for Harris in Grand Rapids

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was joined on stage by five Democratic governors ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris’ rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Friday.

Whitmer appeared with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers and Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey.

“As governors, we understand how important it is to have a president that has our backs, who fights for the people, all of the people. We represent very different states, but we all have a common purpose to get things done for the people we represent and we need strong, stable partners in the White House who will have our backs,” Whitmer said.

She argued that Harris is the candidate who cares about Americans and will “work hard to make sure that all of our states are better places to live, work and invest.”

The appearance comes as Blue Wall governors — Whitmer, Evers and Shapiro — this past week launched a bus tour to highlight Harris’ policies to midwestern voters in the final weeks of the campaign and draw a contrast with former President Donald Trump ahead of Election Day.

Whitmer launched a six-figure ad buy in her state slamming Trump over his remarks casting doubt on Detroit’s revival and arguing that the former president lost jobs for the state.

Donald Trump recently came to Detroit and talked trash about our city. He called Detroit a failure and a mess. We know he’s wrong. Detroiters don’t give up on each other or their city, something Donald Trump will never understand,” Whitmer says in the 30-second spot paid for by her political organization.

Remember: Last week, Trump said at the Detroit Economic that “our whole country will end up being like Detroit if (Kamala Harris is) your president,” and compared the city, which is celebrating a comeback after an economic crash, to a developing nation.
