SUMMARY
Vice President Kamala Harris is deploying Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for a media blitz aimed at engaging male voters amid a serious polling deficit. Starting Friday, Walz will participate in various male-focused events, including a one-on-one interview with former NFL player Michael Strahan at the University of Minnesota’s football stadium. His schedule includes local TV interviews in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, with topics like high school football and hunting. Additionally, Walz will engage with Black men at a voter event in Michigan and lead a pheasant hunting outing with social media influencers in Minnesota. Despite his folksy charm contributing to his selection as Harris's running mate, Walz's visibility has decreased recently, drawing criticism from fellow Democrats. While Harris's popularity with women voters has risen since her campaign launch, she faces a considerable deficit among men, trailing Trump by 13 points, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll.
