Former President Barack Obama is coming to Tucson next week to campaign for Kamala Harris.
He will be featured at an event Friday, Oct. 18.
No details about the event had been released Friday morning.
Obama joins a growing list of visits to the state by candidates in the race for the White House and their political surrogates.
On Wednesday, both Sen. JD Vance and Gov. Tim Walz rallied in Tucson as part of a campaign stop in Arizona that also included Phoenix-area events.
Harris rallied in Chandler Thursday night, her second visit to the state in two weeks. She had more events scheduled around Phoenix on Friday.
Former President Barack Obama, seen here speaking at a campaign rally at the University of Pittsburgh supporting Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, is set to come to Tucson next week.
Harris has visited both Tucson to stump for President Joe Biden and talk about reproductive rights and later stopped at the Arizona-Mexico border in Cochise County as the Democratic presidential candidate.
Trump has held a rally in Tucson and also made a border stop here this campaign season.
Trump is set to return to Arizona on Sunday for a rally in Prescott Valley.
Harris and Trump are neck-and-neck in Arizona, according to various polls, though Trump has maintained a slight edge.
Early voting in Arizona began Wednesday. Election Day is Nov. 5.
Obama kicked off a swing-state tour for the Democratic ticket this week in Pittsburgh.
Speaking at a rally Thursday at the University of Pittsburgh, Obama painted Trump as out-of-touch and not the choice to lead the country to change. He called Trump a “bumbling” billionaire “who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago,” according to the Associated Press.
Obama also urged Black men to show up for Kamala Harris at the polls, the AP reported.
As President, Obama delivered a speech at the University of Arizona’s McKale Center to honor victims of the Jan. 8, 2011 mass shooting during a “Congress On Your Corner” event on Tucson’s northwest side hosted by then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
Six people were killed, and 13 were injured in the mass shooting outside a grocery store on the northwest side.
