Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to speak at a get-out-the-vote student rally at UCLA Monday, one day before the midterm elections.
Rep. Karen Bass, a candidate for mayor of Los Angeles, state Sen. Sydney Kamlager, who is facing former Los Angeles City Councilwoman Jan Perry, a fellow Democrat, in the race to succeed Bass in the House, and Assemblyman Isaac Bryan, are also set to speak.
Harris arrived at Los Angeles International Airport aboard Air Force 2 Sunday afternoon from Chicago, where she spoke at a Democratic Party of Illinois rally and what her office only described as a political event.
The trip is Harris’ third to Southern California since late August. Harris, who owns a home in Brentwood, was also in the region Oct. 15-18 for a visit to Los Angeles that included a discussion on efforts to protect reproductive rights.
“Harris is back again in Southern California, as if she doesn’t have anything more important to do,” Hallie Balch, the Republican National Committee’s California and Nevada director of communications, told City News Service.
“Sending the vice president the day before the election won’t inspire voters to head to the polls when she’s tied to a failing administration that has made life harder on all Californians.”
